Like a Sister

Autor Kellye Garrett
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 feb 2023
When the body of reality TV star Desiree Pierce is found on a playground in the Bronx the morning after her twenty-fifth birthday party, the police and the media are quick to declare her death an overdose. A tragedy, certainly, but not a crime. Yet Columbia grad student Lena--principled, headstrong, and allergic to the spotlight--knows that can't be the case. Despite the bitter truth that the two hadn't spoken in two years, they were half-sisters. Lena knew Desiree. And Desiree would never travel above 125th Street. Something is very wrong with the facts. So why is no one listening? While the two sisters had been torn apart by Desiree's partying and by their difficult father, Lena becomes determined to find justice for Desiree. Even if that means untangling her family's darkest secrets--or ending up dead herself.

Recenzii

'Kellye Garrett, a break-out star in crime fiction . . . A traditional mystery set in the world of reality television and Instagram influencers, it is equal parts charm and heartbreak, with razor-sharp insights on class, race, and family. I'm happy to know that Kellye Garrett is just getting started. I can't wait to see what she does next' Laura Lippman

'A riveting, read-through-the-night thriller by a masterful storyteller. From the very first page to the jaw-dropping finish, this is one you need to put at the top of your reading list' Liv Constantine
 
'Like a Sister is a marvel and a must-read story for the current moment. Garrett, with deft humor and a perfect eye for the blurred lines of social media and reality TV, has crafted a gripping narrative of domestic suspense which delivers hard, essential truths about race, class, and makes us question why some women's stories are too often disbelieved' Ivy Pochoda

'In death, reality star Desiree Pierce should be absolved of her sins, but instead has accumulated strikes against her character – unless her sister Lena can prove she was murdered . . . Domestic suspense for the Instagram gen. #lovedit' Lori Rader-Day

'Like A Sister is fresh, original, funny and with such a strong voice, like a great noir novel of the 1920s and 30s sling-shotted into modern-day New York. Think Dashiell Hammett with hip hop and social media. In Lena Scott, Kellye Garrett has created a cynical, loyal and utterly real character – the kind of modern, clued-up woman you’d definitely want on your side. Garrett is a clear front runner in the genre, writing a compulsive crime tale with family at its heart' Emma Bamford, debut author of Deep Water

'This murder mystery with attitude is sharp and sassy' Heat

'A smart New York switchback ride of a thriller, with a fresh and likeable heroine' Mail on Sunday 

'A classy thriller featuring a fascinating, if reluctant heroine' Maxim Jakubowski, Crime Time
 

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
I found out my sister was back in New York from Instagram. I found out she’d died from the New York Daily News.

A thrilling suspense novel in which no one bats an eye when a disgraced reality TV star is found dead in the Bronx – except her estranged half-sister, whose refusal to believe the official story leads her on an increasingly dangerous search for the truth.
