The Likeness: A Novel


Review
“ [Tana French] aces her second novel. The Likeness [is a] nearly pitch- perfect follow-up to her 2007 debut thriller, In the Woods.”
—Entertainment Weekly

“ The Likeness [is] a book even better than the first, which was very good indeed. . . . The suspense is gut-grinding . . . A wonderful book.”
—New York Daily News

“ For The Likeness, [French] has brought back detective Cassie Maddox and fashioned a plot that harks back to both Donna Tartt and Wilkie Collins.”
—The Washington Post

“ [French’s] already signature blend of psychological insight, beautiful writing and wry humor is on display once more in The Likeness.”
—The Baltimore Sun
