The Double Life: A Detective’s Deadly Deception

Still traumatised by her brush with a psychopath, Detective Cassie Maddox transfers out of the Murder squad and starts a relationship with fellow detective Sam O’Neill. When he calls her to the scene of his new case, she is shocked to find that the murdered girl is her double.

What’s more, her ID shows she is Lexie Madison - the identity Cassie used, years ago, as an undercover detective. With no leads, no suspects and no clues…

Critics Review

French’s second foray into the dark world of psychological crime more than proves she’s the real deal - Daily Mirror

An intricate and edgy top-notch psychological thriller. - Woman and Home

Beautifully written and elegantly descriptive, this is a true literary detective novel rather than a whodunnit - Irish Mail on Sunday

An eerie thriller, perfect for holidays - Sunday World

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

French’s second foray into the dark world of psychological crime more than proves she’s the real deal - Daily Mirror
