I become more and more of a stacey lee fan with every book I read from her. She has such a unique and beautiful writing voice, sprinkled with metaphors and spins on old sayings, that sparks life into every story she creates.
kill her twiceis her first foray into the murder mystery genre, and it added some maybe darker elements to her usually lighthearted style. This book is set in 1932 Los Angeles, with a murder of hollywood star lulu wong. The story itself is fun and easy to follow, though the plot dragged a bit in the middle in regards to the actual murder plot. but there were enough other subplots going on that it was never boring.
I adored the characters here. This book has the dual pov of two very different sisters; dutiful, meek May, the oldest child, and free-spirited Gemma, the sometimes problematic middle child (coming from a middle child myself). I loved them both equally, how they had such a beautiful relationship, and how they perfectly balanced each other out. They were amazing leads.
My one complaint is the ending, which I’ve noticed is stacey lee’s weakest point in multiple books of hers. The climax was satisfying, but the ending itself felt quite abrupt and multiple plot threads were not fully wrapped up— including the romance! You have to give us a resolution for the romance! my hopeless romantic heart was not satisfied...more
