The Likeness by Tana French
5.0

With a premise as absurd as this one, an author really has to nail just about everything else in the book to clear the bar. Amazingly Tana French does it. The impossibility of passing one person off as another among the second's close friends actually begins to fade as the characters take shape. It never gets more believable but it stops mattering because of the skill of the character work. A very good book.
