Reviews
"[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**

"Tana French puts a clever twist on every lonely child's fantasy of leading a parallel life when she creates an alternate identity for her detective in THE LIKENESS... Cassie is a character -- the eternal lost child -- you can really care about."
--New York Times Book Review

"The writing is glorious, and the characters and drama so compelling"
--The Boston Globe*

"Savor French's turns of phrase and simmering suspense until the prospect of finishing shuts all distractions out."
--The Baltimore Sun

"The verve of her writing illuminates the uncanny experience of stepping into someone else's life. [The Likeness is] a sophisticated thriller."
--The Dallas Morning News

Praise for Tana French

"When you read Ms. French -- and she has become required reading for anyone who appreciates tough, unflinching intelligence and ingenious plotting -- make only one assumption: All of your initial assumptions are wrong"
--The New York Times

"Tana French is the most interesting, most important crime novelist to emerge in the past 10 years."
--The Washington Post

"[Tana French] inspires cultic devotion in readers...most crime fiction is diverting; French's is consuming."
--The New Yorker

"To say Tana French is one of the great thriller writers is really too limiting. Rather she's simply this: a truly great writer."­
--Gillian Flynn

"French is a poet of mood and a master builder of plots." ­
--The Washington Post

"One of the most distinct and exciting new voices in crime writing."
--The Wall Street Journal

"French does something fresh with every novel, each one as powerful as the last but in a very different manner. Perhaps she has superpowers of her own? Whatever the source of her gift, it's only growing more miraculous with every book."
--Salon.com
