The Likeness (Dublin Murder Squad)
New York Times bestselling author Tana French, author of the forthcoming novel The Hunter, is “the most important crime novelist to emerge in the past 10 years” (The Washington Post) and “inspires cultic devotion in readers” (The New Yorker).
“Required reading for anyone who appreciates tough, unflinching intelligence and ingenious plotting.” —The New York Times
In the “compellingˮ (The Boston Globe) and “pitch perfectˮ (Entertainment Weekly) follow-up to Tana French’s runaway bestseller In the Woods, Cassie Maddox has transferred out of the Dublin Murder Squad—until an urgent telephone call brings her back to an eerie crime scene.
The victim looks exactly like Cassie and carries ID identifying herself as Alexandra Madison, an alias Cassie once used as an undercover cop. Suddenly, Cassie is back undercover, to find out not only who killed this young woman, but, more importantly, who she was.
The Likeness is a supremely suspenseful story exploring the nature of identity and belonging.

I found that the first part of the book dragged. It takes about 80 pages to persuade the main character Cassie Maddox to go undercover and yet you just have to read the back cover to know that she does. But once she accepts the job and enters the world of Lexie it really picks up. Love how deep the characters are drawn as well as the description of the house. I will definitely read the third in the series.
Adore French’s writing. Currently reading my way through her novels. This one follows Cassie. So good.
The likeness, while on its face is mostly implausble, was a clever and fascinating mystery. I adore Detective Cassie Maddox and was glad to spend more time with her. I was enamored with In the Woods and I honestly thought there was no way I would enjoy this book as much. I was wrong, and now I"m obsessed with these novels and I can't wait to dive into the next one. Each character is developed so earnestly and then elegantly decostructed. By the end of the novel the reader knows that character so well they would recognize them in the dark. Really brilliant, interesting and unique.
