THE LIKENESS

In the sequel to French's Edgar Award-winning debut, IN THE WOODS, Detective Cassie Maddox attempts to track down the killer of a woman who assumed the persona of a fictional character created to assist in drug busts in Dublin. Maddox must now go undercover as the mystery woman to find the killer. Narrator Heather O'Neill is a perfect choice for narrator. She commands her audience as she steps into Maddox's shoes with ease. O'Neill's Irish accent is pitch-perfect, and the story’s emotions come through her words. The novel’s climax is frightening and intense, but O'Neill guides listeners through the darkness.
