The likeness, while on its face is mostly implausble, was a clever and fascinating mystery. I adore Detective Cassie Maddox and was glad to spend more time with her. I was enamored with In the Woods and I honestly thought there was no way I would enjoy this book as much. I was wrong, and now I"m obsessed with these novels and I can't wait to dive into the next one. Each character is developed so earnestly and then elegantly decostructed. By the end of the novel the reader knows that character so well they would recognize them in the dark. Really brilliant, interesting and unique.
