This was a decent read, a struggling author who'd been unable to get anywhere suddenly starts climbing the ladder of success when he begins writing a novel series about a serial killer. Only problem is there's an actual serial killer on the loose who has evaded police committing remarkably similar crimes, something an avid reader notes after seeing a newspaper article on yet another crime. Only now the avid reader has just attending a book signing in that very same town with the author and realises they aren't just remarkable similar, they're the same with details slightly adjusted.

Ensuing is some procedural law enforcement and legal wrangled as a case against the author is formed and brought to the courts.

I quite enjoyed it and thought the idea of a crime writer being the actual criminal was an interesting topic to write about. I didn't so much like that some characters just passed through the story forming up the plot not to be heard from again, that being said it didn't detract all that much from the main thrust of the story and overall the writing and story was pleasurable to read.
