The Likeness: Novel

Tana French, the New York Times best-selling author of the upcoming novel The Searcher, has been hailed by The Washington Post as “[T]he most important crime novelist to emerge in the past 10 years” and by The New Yorker as someone who “[I]nspires cultic devotion in readers”. The New York Times describes her work as “Required reading for anyone who appreciates tough, unflinching intelligence and ingenious plotting”. Her latest novel is now being adapted into a Starz series.

In the follow-up to her runaway bestseller In the Woods, Cassie Maddox has left the Dublin Murder Squad behind, until she receives an urgent phone call that leads her back to a disturbing crime scene. The victim bears a striking resemblance to Cassie and goes by the name Alexandra Madison, a former alias used by Cassie during her time as an undercover cop. Forced back into undercover work, Cassie must uncover the truth behind not only the young woman's murder, but also who she really was. The Likeness is a gripping tale that delves into the complexities of identity and belonging, earning praise as “[C]ompellingˮ by The Boston Globe and “[P]itch perfectˮ by Entertainment Weekly.
