The Likeness Tana French

Came out this week - here's the review.


A Trinity college student murdered in a remote spot, someone who looks exactly like you and who was using one of your undercover aliases at the time of her death. You being Detective Cassie Maddox, damaged by the fallout of an Murder case gone wrong and licking your wounds in Domestic Violence. The dead girl is Lexie Madison living a life you created as an undercover operative run by Frank Mackey.

Mackey thinks this is the opportunity of a lifetime. Cassie becomes Lexie, out of a coma with no memory of the night of the attack. She can feed information to the police from the inside. Now Cassie has to fool Lexie’s four strangely protective housemates but Cassie could be getting too close to the case to remain objective and Lexie who shed identities like snakeskin is messing with her head from beyond the grave and all the while in the dark lanes a killer waits.

This is a great follow up to 'In the Woods' can't wait for the next two books - that's if she follows the pattern set up in books one and two.
