Sticking it to Cancer One Book at a Time

I hate myself a bit for getting sucked into this one….

The Likeness - Dublin Murder Squad #2 by Tana French

by Leave a Comment

 Ok…after wanting to throw book #1 across the room multiple times, this was a bit of an improvement. It is not so much a sequel, as it is a spinoff, which was interesting.  It didn’t resolve any of my questions from book 1, but at least I didn’t have to deal with the biggest asshole character ever written anymore. The premise in this book is so unbelievable that I rolled my eyes more than once, because, COME ON. Our detective is called to a murder seen where the victim is her doppelgänger, and is using the assumed name that she […]

Maybe she’s a cylon

The Likeness by Tana French

by Leave a Comment

I’m so glad I dove right into this one after finishing In The Woods. I liked them both, but The Likeness is a touch stronger in terms of writing and I loved the story. Cassie Maddox gets pulled into a murder investigation after a body is found who looks just like her. Everyone working the case is spooked by their eerie similarities, but things only get weirder when they find out she’s been living under one of Cassie’s old undercover aliases, Lexie Madison. Lexie was living with her four best friends in a small town. There’s very little evidence, no […]

Mirror Mirror on the wall, who is this dead person and why does she have my face?!

The Likeness by Tana French

by Leave a Comment

I received this book as one of my CBR Exchange gifts from The Chancellor (thank you!!) and was delighted to receive it.  It has become a nice tradition as I received the first in the series as part of my exchange gift last year.  Whereas it took me about a year to open the first one, this was not the case the second time around, and it was my first book of the new year because I knew what I was in for: compelling and excellent writing with a solid mystery and no “storybook” ending, and this installment did not deliver. […]

Could you step into the shoes of your doppelganger?

The Likeness by Tana French

by 3 Comments

After a murder investigation that completely destroyed her relationship with her detective partner and best friend, Dublin murder detective Cassie Maddox moved to the Domestic Violence unit and took up target shooting to deal with her feelings of anxiety. She’s therefore surprised when her boyfriend, Sam O’Neill calls her from a murder site, and asks her to come meet him, but to make sure she wears sunglasses and a hat or some such, to disguise her appearance a bit. Once Cassie sees the victim, she understands not only why Sam sounded so shaken on the phone, but why he wanted […]

This book will consume you.

The Likeness (Dublin Murder Squad, #2) by Tana French

by 4 Comments

Oh, lordy. This book chewed me up and spat me out. This isn’t going to be one of those reviews where I say a lot. The book was too good, and too overwhelming. I could do it, but it might break me to try. And I’d rather not be broken. So instead, in this review, you will probably get a bunch of nonsense strung together in some stream-of-consciousness excuse for review writing. I DON’T EVEN FEEL BAD ABOUT IT. The Likeness is the second book in Tana French’s Dublin Murder Squad books. You don’t need to have read the first […]

Likeness? More like Highly Unlikely

The Likeness by Tana French

by 1 Comment

Tana French made a lot of noise when her debut novel, In The Woods, hit shelves seven years ago. I finally read it last year and really enjoyed it. So much so that I bought the follow up novel almost right away but have only just read it. One of the joys of owning a Kindle and living with a bibliophile who has covered every available wall space of the flat with books is I’m always spoilt for choice. So that’s part of the reason for the delay in reading it. The other part is the same as its predecessor. The synopsis all but […]
