The Likeness by Tana French (#35, Fiction)

Another suspenseful, murder mystery by Tana French. The anger I felt at the end of In the Woods was assuaged when I found out she already had a second book out using the same characters. But, turns out Ms. French plans on taking her sweet time to unlock the mystery she never revealed in the first book -- meaning, she gives absolutely no closure to the first book! And, in essence she shuts the door to it, but I don't really believe that!

But, about The Likeness. It was good. Not the spitting image of her first book, which is always nice. It wasn't as creepy as the first book, nor did it have any "supernatural" potential to it. As you read on the back, Cassie goes undercover to pretend to be a girl who was murdered. Yes, they look alike, but there is a bit of the really factor. You really think someone, no matter how much they look like you, could step into your life and your friends and family wouldn't suspect?

Read it and find out if she succeeds....
