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.

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

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."

The heroine, Kat Colorado, is interesting, brave, ethical, and has funny friends. If I want to lay low for an afternoon (or weekend) I love reading mysteries...and the Kijewski series is one of my five favorites. Copy Kat was good -- even with a bonus of a few lines of profundity.
