Copycat: A Liz Lockhart Mystery
Echo is watching from the shadows…
…and he’s ready to strike.
Echo’s got a plan…and he’ll execute it just right.
Liz’s latest case is confounding from the start. Not a trace of evidence is found on the victim, who has been immaculately cleaned. The use of strange props and the lack of connection between the victim and the dumping ground have the department scratching its head. But, when Liz manages to wade her way through the sea of random clues, the truth of the killing leaves everyone in shock.
The case lags after that discovery ends with no solid clues to follow, and Liz has to wait for new leads.
Then Liz gets a call from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and learns that her victim is just the latest in a long line of copycat killings happening across the state. When they invite her to join their task force, Liz enthusiastically agrees. She dives into the cases alongside the Special Agent who first connected the victims.
But the question remains…
Can Liz track down this predator…
…when no one else has?
You’ll love this thrilling novel full of depraved violence, tons of suspense, and an unforgettable climax.

About the author
Amanda Feyerbend
33 books16 followersAmanda Feyerbend—pronounced Fire-bend—grew up loving mysteries. As a child one of her favorite book series was The Boxcar Children. She would delve into their mysteries and imagine herself working alongside the gang. As she grew, Amanda usually found herself drawn to books with an overall mystery theme, whether the genre was Sci-fi, Fantasy, or Horror. She also loves watching police procedural movies and television shows.
Though her major in college was Biology, Amanda minored in film studies after an amazing high school literature class where she and her classmates made a short film mimicking the style used in the movie Memento. In a film writing class, she finished plotting out a two-year-old screenplay that she’d started after a car accident left her bedridden for a few months.
That screenplay—titled Endless Evil—gathered dust for several years until, in 2013, her coworker and best friend suggested she turn it into a novel. Amanda followed her advice and self-published Endless Evil in February of 2014. She immediately began the follow-up novel, White River, and published it that same year in August.
Since then she’s released two other books in The Pruitt County Mysteries and her first standalone novel, The Ideal Woman, was released in August of 2017.
Amanda grew up in Georgia and is currently in the process of renovating her childhood home with plans to live there. She’s had a menagerie of pets, and currently resides with two rambunctious tomcats who have no problem distracting Amanda from her writing for a cuddle session or playtime. Kimbrel was named after the former Atlanta Braves closing pitcher. She planned to name her second kitty Bosher after the Atlanta Falcons punter, but the name his foster mom gave him, Lupin, stuck.

I received an ARC and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
This story starts with Liz called to a scene and when she starts to check with neighbors, she winds up being injured. It seems when she began questioning one of the neighbors, that person decided to run and Liz was injured. Because of her injury, Liz was unable to do field work. Once she was cleared by a doctor, she was assigned a murder case. As she began her investigation, she was coming up empty with finding clues. She had made a list of people to question. Once she learned that the murder scene was a repeat of one that happened many years earlier. After a while of coming up with nothing, she received a call from GBI and wound up being asked to join a task force investigating other Copycat murders. Working as part of the team, they eventually discovered a potential clue that started to narrow the suspect list down. Liz began talking with the victims' families when she stumbled on a clue. She made arrangements to talk to the individual that corresponded to the clue she discovered.
To discover what Liz saw, what happened as she went to talk to the person, who was the Copycat killer and what else Liz discovered that tied all of the victims together, then you need to read this book. It is well worth your time.

Copycat: A Liz Lockhart Mystery
Amanda Feyerbend
Brilliantly and chillingly put-together thriller!
This is another one of Amanda's can't-put-it-down books. This book had me hooked from the first page and I could not stop reading. I just had to find out who the copycat was. And, oh, my, what a way to connect the clues and figure out the identity. Brilliant! And the ending had me nearly crying and biting my nails!

A serial killer mimics murders from the past. The killer does not leave any DNA at the crimes. Detective Liz Lockhart does not have much to work with. A story line that keeps you interested from the beginning.
