___________________
A serial killer is at large in Yorkshire, cutting off one victim's body part to leave with the next.
The police turn to forensic psychologist and profiler Dr Jo McCready, who knows the killer's M.O. all too well. Twenty-five years ago, notorious Yorkshire serial killer Jacob Malecki murdered fifteen people using the same method, and Jo provided the profile that led to his capture.
But with Malecki locked up in prison, who is the copycat killer? As the bodies pile up and the police get desperate, Malecki offers to help with the case. After all, who better to find a copycat than the original?
Now Jo must play a dangerous game of cat and mouse with both killers. Can she use one to catch the other before more people die?

Trade ReviewMcEvoy has done it again.
A terrifically clever and intricate thriller. The author's background adds a chilling authenticity where you can't be sure on which side of good and evil most characters sit. Brilliant! * GRAHAM BARTLETT *

Such a clever, twisty crime thriller! * SAIMA MIR (on The Killing Song) *
A Deadly Likeness is a thrill-ride of a read. Right from the start you're grabbed into the world that Lesley creates and it's very hard to tear yourself away. Every character is is so well drawn that you become suspicious of everyone - even the dog - and you are desperate to find out what happened with every turn of the page. The ending is brilliantly crafted and satisfying as well as heart-stopping and heartbreaking. I throughly enjoyed this novel from Lesley and I can't wait to read more * DOROTHY KOOMSON *
