The Likeness

French's second foray into the dark world of psychological crime more than proves she's the real deal -- Daily Mirror An intricate and edgy top-notch psychological thriller. -- Woman and Home Beautifully written and elegantly descriptive, this is a true literary detective novel rather than a whodunnit -- Irish Mail on Sunday An eerie thriller, perfect for holidays -- Sunday World Creepily melding elements of Donna Tartt's "The Secret History" ... THE LIKENESS by Tana French, seduces from the start ... A nifty tale of desire for belonging, as well as a cool thriller -- Time Out Skilfully written ... French has a brilliant ear for dialogue ... in the best tradition of classic crime writers, such as P D James and Ruth Rendell, her characters are fully-rounded people and she is able to layer plots and storylines with a mastery that belies the fact that it is only her second book. -- Sunday Independent, Dublin
