wow the premise of this book was so completely believable that i was distracted by it through out. much like "in the woods," i thought that these were some of the crappiest cops ever. the prose is fun though and i won't deny that i stayed up too late more than once trying to finish it...but really.

I have never spent so long trying to force myself to finish a book. I’m just saying if someone murdered me and found my doppelgänger to try and fit into my life and find my murderer….it would never work out like this book wants ya to believe lol

I enjoyed the first one (with a specific quibble) but I think this one was overall stronger, even if I think it could have been trimmed back just a hair to tighten some things up. Still, I like French's writing style, and I thinks she does a fantastic job of drawing you into her main character's emotional landscape, so I'll be continuing happily with this series.

Tana French takes a fairly ridiculous concept and moulds it into a fascinating character study. The first Dublin Murder Squad book left me in awe -not because of its mystery aspect but because of its characterization. The second one follows suit.
