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
I found out my sister was back in New York from Instagram.
