Product Details


Product Description

From School Library Journal

YA-- Kat Colorado returns in Kijewski's fourth novel, and she is as entertaining as ever. Tobias McAlister asks Kat to investigate the death of his godchild Deidre, murdered as she left the bar she and her husband owned. Although still wrestling with self-doubts resulting from a previous case in which she was forced to kill a suspect in self-defense, Kat agrees to take on the assignment. She goes undercover as a bartender at the murder scene and quickly becomes a favorite with the local citizens. She discovers a pattern to their relationships, past and present, that makes her task a challenge and a heartache. With zany humor and bold confrontations, Kat brings the murderer to justice, making readers sorry to have reached the last page, but eager for this detective's next adventure. YAs will certainly find a heroine in this lovely, wisecracking, but formidable P. I.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not What I Expected, Nov 4 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Copy Kat (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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mysterious Mystery, Feb 5 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Copy Kat (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the first "mystery" novel that I have read other than the nancy drew series. I am 15, and I really enjoyed this book, it is a great mystery, and you keep on wondering till the very end. I am keen on reading her other books that she has written. I reccomned this to pretty much anybody, except for people who do not like a bit of murder in a novel

4.0 out of 5 stars Everything that Karen Kijewski writes is brilliant!, Mar 19 2001
By Rebekah Sue Harris (West Haven, CT USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Copy Kat (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."

Karen Kijewski is one of my favorite mystery writers, but this book was only fair. Worth reading if your a big fan, not worth it if you aren't..
