I hope Tana French is hard at work on another novel, because with this one I've read all of her novels. I love her character development and the thoughtfulness of her mysteries. And the Irish narrator on audible is awesome too.

The premise of the novel seems so ridiculous initially, which is the reason I'd held off from reading this one. The main character Cassie is a cop who used to work undercover. She is called to the scene by her boyfriend (another cop) and her old boss as a woman who looks just like her and has assumed her former undercover identity is murdered. The cops together hatch a plan to keep the murder under wraps, say the woman is in a coma in the hospital. Then Cassie works to learn everything about the woman's life and re-insert herself into her life to find out who murdered her.

The woman - Lexi - was a grad student living with 4 roommates in a big old house in the country. Each of the other students are so interesting and the "family" they've created for themselves was so unique. The house and the countryside were so much a part of the story as well. For a while there I wanted to move in with them, until you see the darker side and things start to unravel. Probably my favorite Tana French novel. I love that she doesn't go for the easy endings.
