Mark and Kate Iverson are living the southern dream in Haggerty, Alabama. Now the parents of two adorable children, they have everything they’ve ever wanted. Along with being an FBI agent, Mark is now the bishop of their ward, and so he’s gone a lot, but Kate has learned to deal with her husband’s absences, and besides, she always has Miss Eugenia to help her when she gets a little overwhelmed.
Kate’s sister Kelsey has come for a visit, contemplating whether she should divorce her husband. She’s four months pregnant, but her husband doesn’t know, and she’s not sure if she even wants to have the baby. Kate, who was forced to have a hysterectomy, can’t understand her sister’s reluctance to have a baby, when Kate would love to have another one of her own.
Meanwhile, a serial killer scheduled for execution asks to meet with Mark. He tells Mark that while he’s been charged with killing five women, he’s really killed eight, but one of the women he’s accused of killing was not murdered by him. Mark isn’t sure if he should believe him – he’s a murderer, after all, but there’s something about the case that intrigues him and he decides to look into it.
In the midst of all this, an old friend of Miss Eugenia’s has left her a bequest in her will, and that bequest turns out to be a wiener dog. Miss Eugenia has always hated wiener dogs, but as Lady takes a place in her home, she finds that the dog has also taken a place in her heart. To further top things off, a gentleman has been coming to call, bringing with him charm, persuasion, and pound cake.
A story full of Betsy Brannon Green’s usual twists and turns, you’ll enjoy “Copycat” from an LDS best-selling author of suspense.
