Sisters May, Gemma, and Peony Chow suddenly found themselves wrapped in a murder mystery investigation when they found the lifeless body of Lulu Wong, their former childhood friend turned Hollywood's rising star, in this new offering from Stacey Lee.

Stacey published a range of YA books with different genres and I've always been honest mentioning that I rarely read mystery and thriller novels but this one caught my eye because, well, it's from Stacey Lee, and the cover looks intriguing.

One thing that will never be out of Stacey's works is the commentary about the Asian struggle and in Kill her Twice, we follow the Chow sisters as they face the death of their former friend and the controversial gentrification of 1930s Chinatown.

I always enjoy how the author wrote their main character and in this one, we follow May and Gemma mainly (Peony shows up every now and then) and their POV as they navigate the murky world of the changing Chinatown. As women living in 1930s, we all know how society expects them to behave and follow the norm but what I really liked about May and Gemma is they break these barriers and lead the charge amid the many obstacles that hinder them to unravel the truth about Lulu Wong's death that is possible connected to the slow demolition of their town.

There are also subtle hint of the way Hollywood worked in 1930s and I liked how we were able to see it when one of the sisters took the limelight as it was a critical step towards the Lulu Wong case.

Overall, this is a solid YA historical fiction. Thank you Penguin Teen for the ARC!!
