The Copycat

Unflinching but also surprisingly funny, you keep turning the pages to find out what is the bigger threat to Rykel: the murderer or his own inner demons

Anja de Jager

Terrifying and twisty, Jake Woodhouse's gripping, effortlessly vivid prose makes this intelligent, brilliantly plotted thriller one you will not be able to put down

Sam Blake, Irish Times No.1 Bestselling Author of Little Bones

This might be Jake Woodhouse's best yet. His Jaap Rykel series good from strength to strength and The Copycat embodies everything that's good about the Rykel books. Yes, it's a gripping page-turner but it also has a lot to say on important social messages, brilliantly managing to do so without slowing the pace for a second. Highly recommended.

Twisting, stylish and breathlessly paced. I struggled to put it down for a second

Chris Whitaker, CWA Dagger-winning author of Tall Oaks

A strong sense of place is matched by a capacity for storytelling that keeps the plot accelerating

Daily Mail

This gripping detective novel will thrill fans of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and bears comparison to Fatherland ... Utterly unputdownable

Utterly enthralling . . . looks set to be one of the key sequences in modern crime fiction
