Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings based on Waiting on Wednesday that was created and run by Breaking the Spine where each Wednesday you get to showcase a book that you are really looking forward to and that has yet to be released.
This week I’ve chosen:
Mimic by Daniel Cole.
In life she was his muse . . .
In death she’ll be his masterpiece1989: DS Benjamin Chambers and DC Adam Winters are on the trail of a serial killer with a twisted passion for recreating the world’s greatest works of art through the bodies of his victims. After Chambers nearly loses his life, the case goes cold due to lack of evidence. The killer lies dormant, his collection unfinished.
2006: DS Marshall has excelled through the ranks of the Metropolitan Police Service, despite being haunted by the case that defined her teenage years. Having obtained new evidence, she joins Chambers and Winters to reopen the case. However, their resurrected investigation brings about a fresh reign of terror, the team treading a fine line between delivering justice and becoming vigilantes in their pursuit of a monster far more dangerous and intelligent than any of them had anticipated…
Mimic by Daniel Cole is published in the UK by Trapeze and scheduled for release on July 15th, 2021 in ebook and August 19th, 2021 in hardback.
I am a big fan of Cole’s Ragdoll trilogy, well, the two books that I have read (Ragdoll and Hangman). I’m yet to read Endgame, the third and final book, but I do have a copy waiting patiently to be read and I’m sure (every reader’s promise to themselves) that will have read it before Mimic is released. 😉 Cole has an addictive way of writing, his books blend together exquisite banter, dialogue that shines, humour (many laugh-out-loud moments are included) and thriller (darkness galore) and are highly entertaining. Mimic is a stand-alone and I’m expecting it to be another entertaining mix of darkness, mystery and laughter by Cole.

I remember your recommendation about the Ragdoll trilogy and discovered that the first book is still sitting (quite forlornly) on my TBR… This novel sounds just as enticing so I will have to do something about this author, and soon! Thanks for sharing! 🙂

I think that I described Ragdoll as ‘addictive like book crack’ if I remember my review properly.😂 Such a good book, dark, but the humour, dialogue and banter really shines. I hope you enjoy it if you do get around to reading it.
