Tana French
Still traumatised by her brush with a psychopath, Detective Cassie Maddox transfers out of the Murder squad and starts a relationship with fellow detective Sam O'Neill. When he calls her to the scene of his new case, she is shocked to find that the murdered girl is her double. What's more, her ID shows she is Lexie Madison - the identity Cassie used, years ago, as an undercover detective. With no leads, no suspects and no clues to Lexie's real identity, Cassie's old boss spots the opportunity of a lifetime: send Cassie undercover in her place, to tempt the killer out of hiding to finish the job.

"What? This was a completely unrealistic premise with wayyyyy too much description, metaphors, internal monologues etc. A tremendous amount of pages to tell what turned out to be a fairly straightforward (and absurd) story. I’ve also never seen a book take so long to wrap up. You get to the turning point, and then oh wait there are still many, many more chapters. "

"This is one of the few books that got me so much, the feelings it inspired stuck with me after I put it down. I walked around paranoid and anxious for days. Loved it!"

"If you like dark academia, detective work, female detectives, stories that are balanced between plot-driven and character-driven, this is for you. #thriller #darkacademia #mystery #crime "

"I admit I first read Tana French because of her last name. But she immediately became one of those writers whose work I buy as soon as it appears in hard cover, because I just can’t wait."
