Synopsis
"A twisty, voice-driven thriller for fans of Megan Miranda and Jessica Knoll, in which no one bats an eye when a Black reality TV star is found dead in the Bronx--except her estranged half-sister, whose refusal to believe the official story leads her on a dangerous search for the truth. When the body of disgraced reality TV star Desiree Pierce is found on a playground in the Bronx the morning after her 25th birthday party, the police and the media are quick to declare her death an overdose. It's a tragedy, certainly, but not a crime. But Desiree's half-sister Lena Scott knows that can't be the case. A graduate student at Columbia, Lena has spent the past decade forging her own path far from the spotlight, but some facts about Desiree just couldn't have changed since their childhood. And Desiree would never travel above 125th Street. So why is no one listening to her? Despite the bitter truth that the two haven't spoken in two years, torn apart by Desiree's partying and by their father, Mel, a wealthy and influential hip-hop mogul, Lena becomes determined to find justice for her sister, even if it means untangling her family's darkest secrets--or ending up dead herself."

Rating
I rate this novel a 4 out of 5 stars. I found this on an Instagram page BookOfTheMonth and it caught my attention. Additionally, an African American woman wrote this novel which enticed me, even more, to read this novel. The writing was well and I very written connected well with the characters due to the fact that there was African American and had African Merican slang and culture in it. The little touches of the everyday experiences of the main character are also a nice glimpse of how differently the two sisters lived their lives. Overall, this is a good thriller novel and I highly recommend it!
