I read In the Woods almost a year ago but remember highly enjoying it and thinking it was a fairly quick read. The Likeness on the other hand was much slower and a book that would normally have taken me a week and a half to read took almost a month.

French continues following the life of Detective Cassie Maddox a few months after when In the Woods ends. However those months and the changes in Cassie life during those months are not explained well and distract you from the primary plot of a murder involving a woman named Lexie Madison who look exactly like Cassie.

The primary plot of Cassie going undercover as Lexie, living with Lexie's roommates and trying to discover Lexie's killer and her secrets is intriguing. But the secondary plot of Cassie's life, especially her recovering her normalcy after In the Woods overshadows what could have been a good mystery novel.
