The Likeness by Tana French

3.0

This book is tricky to review. It's the follow up to the wonderful In the Woods, and features the partner of In the Wood's protagonist. It is well-written, creepy, with a really interesting plot line. I didn't like it as much as In the Woods, even though the writing was still very strong. The plot line was just slightly too unbelievable, and the ending threw in some curves that didn't add in anything to the story except drama that didn't fit in the last few pages. Overall, it was a disappointing sequel. I'll pick up the third in the series, hoping this was just a case of a sophomore slump.
