The Likeness by Tana French is a psychological thriller of the best sort. If you read French’s previous Edgar Award winning book, In the Woods, you will be happy to be reunited with Detective Cassie Maddox. This time, a girl is found dead in an abandoned cottage in the countryside. But this dead girl looks exactly like Cassie. What’s even stranger is that the ID found on the dead girl matches the undercover name Cassie used many years ago.
Now Cassie must go undercover as the dead girl to figure out her back story and who killed her, without riling up suspicion from the lookalike’s 4 roommates. All the secrets Cassie discovers will keep you on your toes until the very end.
