Four and a half stars.
The premise of The Likeness is pretty unlikely: Cassie Maddox, previously seen in French's first Dublin Murder Squad novel In the Woods, has narrowly avoided a complete nervous breakdown after Operation Vestal and has moved into the Domestic Violence Squad; her life has finally settled down while becoming far more, well, dull.
