It is a debut novel written by Tana French. I couldn't put the book down...
She creates "everyday" people and devised a plot that makes me want to read
the book again! I wonder if there will be a sequel?????

Yeah!!!!!!!THE LIKENESS is in print...I can't wait to read it......

I've been following the progress of Tana French’s "In the Woods" and it's on the move. Rights have been sold for editions in 19 languages. Reviews have been outstanding. In the New York Times Book Review, Marilyn Stasio wrote about the "lyrical ferocity" of French's writing. The Washington Post said the book is “ambitious and extraordinary,” “daring,” “meticulously imagined,” and concludes, “rank it high.” The London Times described this as a “terrific debut” in which “French’s psychological insights combine grippingly with the clammy atmosphere that surrounds the lethal woods.” BBC Radio called the book “stunning” and said “the literary world is abuzz with praise for a new talent.” What struck me (though most of the reviews neglect this aspect) is that at the gravitational center of "In the Woods" is one of the most disturbing characters in recent fiction, a study in psychopathology. A must-read for anyone who values gripping mystery or literary excellence.

The Likeness


I'm almost finished,,,,,,and I don't want the book to end...it's reminiscent of 1940's movies where the dialogue is central to the plot... great book!!!!!
