Publisher Description
A NEW YORK TIMES BEST THRILLER OF THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY
“[Tana French is] required reading for anyone who appreciates tough, unflinching intelligence, and ingenious plotting.” —The New York Times
A New York Times bestseller 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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The second novel in Tana French’s loosely connected Dublin Murder Squad series shows off everything that makes her one of today’s most exciting crime writers. The haunting novel revolves around a murdered university student named Lexie Madison who bears an uncanny resemblance to Detective Cassie Maddox. Even freakier, “Lexie Madison” is Maddox’s undercover alias. When Cassie goes undercover on campus, she doesn’t know whether Lexie’s fellow students are friends or foes—or whether her mysterious new sense of belonging will trap or save her. French is a master at juggling genres: The Likeness works as a straight-ahead police procedural, but there are threads of supernatural eeriness running throughout the story. We felt unsettled the whole time we were reading this amazing book, so much so that we turned on every light in the house.
