Having read The Keeper I had been anticipating the release of Copycat, and I was not disappointed.
I love getting to know the characters as their relationship with the reader begins to grow and become more familiar- they each play their own part fantastically.
What I’m particularly fond of is how real the story is -this could 100% actually happen and it is so clear how much research has gone into criminal minds, police processes and the courts and prisons.
I was gripped from the start and I am so so looking forward to any future instalments!

Brilliant
Absolutely brilliant 2nd book of the series.
I enjoyed Ryan's character and taking in his father's profession into helping to solve the crimes.
Really well written...

COPYCAT is the second installment in the DS Jenna Morgan series.
It's a cleverly thought out case, written in a way that the reader is only aware of what little information there is about the killer. Even though we get chapters from the point of view of the killer, don't be fooled in thinking you'll be able to suss out who they are. Oh gosh no, Diane Saxon has made sure that you will go through this whole case second guessing yourself all the time. Trust me because I've read it, and I was suspecting quite a few people.
This is my first foray into Saxon's work and I was very pleased with what I read. There were hints and teasers to the first case in this book, but, not so much that it spoils the story. COPYCAT is easily read as a standalone.
Jenna has great chemistry with her partner Mason Ellis. She describes him as a little brother, and this shows in the way they both banter with each other. Alongside these two is DC Ryan Downey, he may be younger than the other two but he is very much an integral part of the force.
However, Ryan doesn't realise how close to the case he actually is. When in fact he has connections to a couple or more of the victims. I love this idea to have a police officer in the middle of the investigation, it gives us the reader reason to start doubting everyone that we come across.
This was a fantastic thriller full of suspense. It was crammed with drama and intrique. Thanks to Megan for my stop on the blog tour

Thank you Boldwood Books for including me on the blog tour for Copycat by Diane Saxon. Copycat is the second book in the series starring DS Jenna Morgan.
Like Keeper, the first in the series, Copycat runs on the darker side of a police procedural series because one of the perspectives is from the murder’s point of view. These ones can be harder to read so take care of yourself if you decide to read it and are on the more sensitive side with gore and crime. Copycat follows DS Morgan and her team while they track down a murderer who uses the same MO as a serial killer who is serving a life sentence.
Copycat can be read as a stand-alone, though events from the first book are mentioned. One caution would be the identity of the killer in the first book is directly named so I think if you read the second before the first, the first would be significantly less suspenseful.
I really like a series where the characters grow and develop over time and this one is proving to be one that keeps my interest. Hopefully for a few more to come!

In September I read The Keeper by Diane Saxon that I loved, my review can be found on my feed or on goodreads. So needless to say I was so excited to read Copycat to follow along on Jenna Morgans journey. Copycat seemed to have a bit of a slow start for me ands didn't captivate me right from the beginning like The Keeper. It wasn't until about 15% into the book that I got really interested. From that point it was full of suspense and became very addictive much like her last novel.
Jenna and her team are called to a murder scene. Her ex partner may be the last to have seen the victim alive. The scene starts to remind them of a similar case, however the murderer is serving life, could this perhaps be a copycat? This wasn't the only victim, just the first in a string of red headed nurses. Full of twists and turns as we follow along with the detectives investigating the case. Definitely recommend if you are a fan of a page turner police procedural
