Reviews

Praise for THE LIKENESS: 'An intricate and edgy top-notch psychological thriller.'
Woman and Home
Creepily melding elements of Donna Tartt's 'The Secret History' and undercover police procedural, THE LIKENESS by Tana French, seduces from the start... A nifty tale of desire for belonging, as well as a cool thriller
Time Out
Beautifully written and elegantly descriptive, this is a true literary detective novel rather than a whodunnit
Irish Mail on Sunday
The Likeness isn't just a good page-turner, but a skilfully written modern novel . . . French has a brilliant ear for dialogue . . . Also in the best tradition of classic crime writers, such as P D James and Ruth Rendell, her characters are fully-rounded people and she is able to layer plots and storylines with a mastery that belies the fact that it is only her second book.
Sunday Independent
French's second foray into the dark world of psychological crime more than proves she's the real deal
