Absolutely fantastic. This is the second book in Tana French's Dublin Murder Squad series and like the first one, it was amazing. Our main character is Detective Cassie Maddox and she is sent on an undercover operation when a murder victim who looks exactly like her is discovered (hence the title of the book). We follow her as she goes undercover to infiltrate the victim's group of friends in order to try and find out what happened.

The story, the writing, the characters, everything was so good. The author's characters are broken and flawed, but she has a way of making you love them and as the story progresses you feel as though you know the characters so well- their desires, their way of thinking, their thought process. French's books are so much more than just murder mysteries. They're psychological explorations of people's inner thoughts and darkness. That being said, the mystery aspect of her stories are riveting and consuming. You can feel the intense and inevitable build-up in the story. There was one point toward the end of the book where all these secrets and revelations were exposed and I literally had to stop reading and just process what had happened.

This story reminded me a lot of The Secret History by Donna Tartt (which I also loved) and now I must go buy the rest of the series because they will also be amazing without a doubt.
