In the follow-up to Tana French’s runaway bestseller In the Woods, itʼs six months later and Cassie Maddox has transferred out of the Dublin Murder Squad with no plans to go back—until an urgent telephone call summons her to a grisly crime scene. The victim looks exactly like Cassie and carries ID identifying herself as Alexandra Madison, an alias Cassie once used as an undercover cop. Cassie must discover not only who killed this girl, but, more important, who was this girl?
As an identical twin I found the premise hilarious but if you ignore that basic issue it's a good whodunnit and beautifully written
What a fun read this was!
I got so engrossed in the plot and characters, I found myself talking to the page: "Oh, no! Cassie wants to be Lexie!"
Cassie is Detective Cassie Maddox, from Tana French's first book, [b:In the Woods|237209|In the Woods|Tana French|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1194628861s/237209.jpg|3088141]. Lexie is the fictional persona that Detective Maddox used while working undercover. A woman bearing Lexie's ID turns up murdered...and she also happens to look just like Cassie, which provides the perfect opportunity for Cassie to assume Lexie's life to track down her killer. On the improbability scale, this of course must rate an 11...but so enjoyable.
I'd definitely read more by Tana French.
