'Stand-out' Caz Frear 'Captivating' Samantha Downing 'Razor-sharp'
Laura Lippman 'Riveting' Liv Constantine 'Sharp and sassy' Heat She
found out her sister was back in New York from Instagram. She found
out about her death from the New York Daily News. But she's the
only one convinced it wasn't an accident . . . Desiree Pierce, a
Black reality TV star, is found dead on a playground in the Bronx.
Her death is quickly declared an overdose by the police and the
media - tragic, but not a crime. Lena Scott, Desiree's sister,
knows that can't be true. Torn apart by Desiree's partying and by
their father, a wealthy and influential hip-hop mogul, the sisters
haven't spoken in years. But some things about Desiree couldn't
have changed, even with time. Nobody is listening to her, but Lena
is determined not to let anyone brush off her sister's death. She
will find justice, even if it means uncovering the family's darkest
secrets - or putting her own life at risk. Because there are two
sides to every story - the one being told, and the one nobody wants
you to know . . . Praise for Like A Sister: 'A wild ride of a
thriller! I inhaled this book' Liz Nugent 'Sometimes a novel
perfectly captures a particular voice, a time, and a place. That's
very much the case with Kellye Garrett's Like a Sister, a crime
novel that not so much hits the zeitgeist as bludgeons it with a
hammer. A twisty tale of murder, greed, family secrets, and the
perils of fame, Garrett's prose crackles along at breakneck pace,
dissecting issues of race, class, and modern culture with aplomb!'
Vaseem Khan 'I tore through Like a Sister - a stand-out, propulsive
thriller from such a fresh, original voice. Lena is an
unforgettable heroine - vulnerable, witty, and relentless in her
quest for justice. Suspenseful storytelling at its best. Loved it!'
Caz Frear 'Like a Sister is a gripping, twisty thriller that will
keep you hooked from first page to last' Olivia Kiernan 'A wholly
captivating novel, one that grows more complicated - and tense - as
the story unfolds. Loaded with twists and turns, this book will
keep you guessing until the last shocking page' Samantha Downing
'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
classy thriller featuring a fascinating, if reluctant heroine'
