Reviews

'An intricate and edgy top-notch psychological thriller.' -- Woman and Home 20080801 'Beautifully written and elegantly descriptive, this is a true literary detective novel rather than a whodunnit' -- Irish Mail on Sunday 20080720 'An eerie thriller, perfect for holidays' -- Sunday World 20080706 '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 20080821 'French's second foray into the dark world of psychological crime more than proves she's the real deal' -- Daily Mirror 20080829 'Creepy stuff' -- Independent 20080829 '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.' -- Anne Marie Scanlon, Sunday Independent, Dublin 20080829 'lush, intense and gorgeous' -- Reviewing the Evidence website 20081209
