The Likeness by Tana French

dark emotional mysterious reflective slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

I really think Tana French is a tier above other modern mystery writers. The two books I read are draped in atmosphere. "The Likeness" has a super interesting concept for a story. The book is less about the crime itself and more about the flaws and interactions between all of the characters. It does have a slower pace but that is something I really enjoyed.
