This review is from: Copy Kat (Kat Colorado Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)

Kat Colorado mysteries are great because the plot flows smoothly, there are no loose ends at the end of the book, and the characters are ohsoreal.

Copy Kat is no exception. When Kat needs to escape her nightmares, she seizes the opportunity to go out of town undercover to find the client's goddaughter's killer.

The people she meets are warm and real to the reader, and I was surprised by the identification of the killer.

Biggest problem with this book: there seem to be two important sentences missing in the chapter in which Kat meets the victim's sister and brother in law. I don't know if they are publisher or author omissions, but they made it difficult for me to follow an important chapter.

While this isn't the author's best work, it is better by FAR than many of the mysteries out there. Karen Kijewski should be proud of the work she has published, because it's a yacht swimming in the literary sewage that calls itself "mystery."

Copy Kat is a brilliant book written by Karen Kijewski. This is an action packed mystery about a murder case that has twist and turns. This book will capture the reader's audience in the novel. Out of five stars I'd give it a four. Maybe a four and a half. This book is great for readers above the age of 11. Karen's descriptive and comical yet serious language makes this a must read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not What I Expected, November 4, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Copy Kat (Kat Colorado Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)

Having consumed all the Evanovich series, and Munger, and Maddie Hunter, and Cosin -- I was looking for a snappy, sharp but amusing PI character in Kat Colorado. I was disappointed that I did not find her. Perhaps it is because this appears to be early Kijewski's KC series, perhaps not. However, having read THIS, I am not inclined to read any more of her works. The character was OK, the writing was not cohesive, and often leapt from one premise to another without transition. I bought it on the basis of search engines led me to on the other authors' search --- "You might also like..." My advice to you is, if you are fond of the aforementioned authors, you may not care for Kijewski. She's not at ALL like them.
