I bought French’s second novel, The Likeness, a sequel to In the Woods, without even flipping through it. In The Woods was excellently written, but not all that different than what I had anticipated: emotionally tortured male cop, dead girl, shocking secret in a small town, yada yada.Ī year later, while in another protracted break-up - yes, I now understand that the problem was me - I wanted a book to take my mind off it all. I guess I hoped a book about corpses could distract me from the corpse of my relationship. But I grabbed French’s novel in the Vienna airport anyway. In fact, I believed the genre was totally riddled with cliches about sad cops and hot dead women. I read Tana French’s first novel, In The Woods, while on vacation with a boy who was very clearly about to dump me. In this installment, Gabrielle Moss writes about Tana French's The Likeness, the second novel in the author's acclaimed Dublin Murder Squad series. Bustle's I'm So Jealous series is dedicated to the books, TV shows, movies, podcasts, and more that super fans are so jealous someone else gets to experience for the first time.
