Creepily melding elements of Donna Tartt’s “The Secret History” … THE LIKENESS by Tana French, seduces from the start … A nifty tale of desire for belonging, as well as a cool thriller - Time Out

Skilfully written … French has a brilliant ear for dialogue … 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, Dublin
