2.0 out of 5 stars A Disappointment, Nov 19 2009

By	Toni Osborne "The Way I See It" (Montreal, Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

Book 2 in the Cassie Maddox series

How long can someone assume different identities and keep it up? Seems Ms French protagonist is being given nine lives sending Cassie once more undercover. Like her first novel, the story is set in Dublin and the mystery entails an investigation into a homicide.

After being stabbed during her last undercover assignment Cassie had been assigned to the Domestic Violence (DV) division. The suspense starts when Cassie is summoned to the scene of a homicide. There, she and others are startled by the fact that the victim is the mirror image of Cassie; also the victim's ID is Lexie Madison, one of Cassie's previous undercover names.

The suspense grows when it is decided to hide the events from the media and have Cassie once again go undercover and infiltrate the dead girl's world. Unfortunately the plot drags when much of the novel is centered on the day to day lifestyle of victim's strange roommates. Even with some twists and turns the main problem is extreme slowness (boredom), it gets bogged down with too many descriptions of domestic life, leaving us with a mystery that is straightforward with few surprises. I found the plot bland and the characters missing development.

After reading the first novel "In the Woods" which I enjoyed, this was a disappointment

4.0 out of 5 stars The Likeness by Tana French, Jun 21 2009

By	Barbara C. Howell (Edmonton, AB, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Likeness (Paperback)

Detective Cassie Maddox goes undercover to find the killer of a young woman who in life was her body double. This is a taut pyschological thriller taking place in Dublin and a small village in the county of Wicklow. The London Times described this book as mesmerizing and it is a fabulous read. The Likeness is a cut above your average thriller. It is contemporary Irish fiction at it's best.
Ms Woods wrote an earlier book, In the Woods, which won the Edgar Prize in 2008.
