Book Review: Copycat by Diane Saxon

Title: Copycat 

Author: Diane Saxon

Stars: 3 1/2

Review:
This book is part of a series and while the author tries hard to catch readers up without taking to much time away from the main story readers jumping in might be still a little lost.
Once the story starts readers will find themselves in a thriller that will have readers wondering what is going on and where is this going but in the best of ways.  The characters are interesting enough but fall into the traditional police\Constable characters and do not move away from that box.
The find themselves watching as murder are happening unable to stop or tell the characters to run away.  The author is graphic and describe in detail what is happening to the point of painful.
In the end the book is a decent read for those who like mysteries with a little more gore.

Synopsis:

About The Author:
Diane Saxon lives in the Shropshire countryside with her tall, dark, handsome husband, two gorgeous daughters, a Dalmatian, one-eyed kitten, ginger cat, six chickens and a black Labrador called Beau, whose name has been borrowed for her hero in For Heaven's Cakes.

After working for years in a demanding job, on-call and travelling great distances, Diane gave it all up when her husband said “follow that dream”.

Having been hidden all too long, her characters have burst forth demanding plot lines of their own and she’s found the more she lets them, the more they’re inclined to run wild.
