They're both by mystery writer Tana French and, lemme tell ya, this woman is legit. Both novels feature characters from Dublin's murder squad and geography plays a heavy role in each. French's haunting descriptions of the Irish countryside make me want to visit Ireland ASAP. Not to mention that her characters are incredibly real; as in, I would want to be BFF with Cassie Maddox...or possibly date a guy like Detective Ryan. When it comes to murder mysteries, there's an ever-present threat that the novel will rely on blood and gore to liven up its descriptions or inadvertently create the flat, one-dimensional, hard-ass detective character(s) so prevalent in made-for-TV movies. Not so with Tana French. Even if you're not a fan of the genre, read these books now! I'm not quite finished with The Likeness yet, but I cannot wait to finish it!
