Book Description from Goodreads:
When a double homicide is strikingly familiar to a twenty-year-old cold case, Detective Nate Slater is rattled by the parallels. With a child as the only witness, he and his K-9 partner must protect little Lucy and her aunt, Willow Emery. Nate’s rough past means he always keeps an emotional distance…but in this case getting closer is the only way they’ll all survive.


My Review:
Copycat Killer is a Christian romantic suspense novel. I enjoyed the characters and cared about what happened to them. Nate fears that he'll be abusive like his father, so he's sworn off relationships. Willow helped him to realize that he's not his father. The romance went very fast--after knowing each other for a few days under intense circumstances, Nate switched from "no relationships" to "marry me?" The suspense came from the repeated attacks on Willow. Nate and his K9 partner (with his team) worked to track down the bad guy attacking Willow while also working the double-murder (which was a separate case that wasn't solved). There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this enjoyable suspense novel.
