About Books, September 13, 2008

Tana French, author of "The Likeness," grew up in Ireland, Italy, the United States and Malawi and chose Dublin as her home when she reached adulthood. I read her first thriller, "In the Woods," and was so excited to have the opportunity to interview her for her second. French has created a group of characters that inhabit a Dublin detective squad. Rob Ryan was featured in her first novel; Cassie Maddox in her second. The story involves the murder of Cassie's physical double. Cassie assumes the victim's character and goes undercover to live in the victim's college house in order to discover who the murderer is. Tana was a delightful person to talk to and I look forward to her third novel.
