I have read 2 books by this author now and have loved them both!

"The Likeness" is the 2nd book in a series - both books were hard to put down. I find that many authors who write a series will spend a lot of time in the later books describing what happened in the earlier stories which makes me crazy - if you are reading books in a series, read the 1st ones 1st! I'm saying all that to say that French does not write her sequels that way - she puts in some reminders and or references, but they are not a rehash of the old stories and that makes me love her writing all the better :)

This book continues following the police career of Cassie Maddox as she becomes involved in a new case involving the death of a college student. French does an excellent job of helping you get to know the characters - the good, the bad and the ugly. While I had a little bit of trouble buying into the plot premise, once I let go of my hang ups the story sucked me right in and I never looked back.

Her 3rd book is on its way to me and I won the 5th as a First-Reads winner. I'm excited to see what she will she will come up with next :)
