This is my
fourth Tana French novel, The Likenss,
and it is both totally implausible and totally gripping. The murder victim is Detective
Cassie Maddox’s doppelganger, so under the name of Lexie Madison, Cassie
infiltrates a unique group of college students at the very college where she
previously did undercover work. But Lexie Madison was the fake identity Cassie
and her boss had created for the prior undercover job, and sometime after that
old operation ended and Cassie left the school, it was the identity that the
murdered woman had chosen to steal. Do you follow that? With a bit of reality
suspension by the reader, it works. Tana French’s writing and character
development is wonderful although this one is not quite up to the quality of In The Woods or Faithful Place. I’m a fan, and I’ve already acquired Broken Harbor and will read that one
soon.
