The Likeness

Beautifully written with an intriguing cast of characters. Reminiscent of “The Secret History” with an obsessive group of university students living together in an old mansion when one of them is murdered. Though the initial premise is unlikely (a doppelgänger detective!!) once you accept the possibility, Tana French invites you into a house of obsession, secrets and red herrings. The mystery aspect will hook you, but the remarkable prose will keep you there.
