A mystery that follows investigative journalist Keke McCoy as she investigates the murder of a dancer at a female owned strip club. There are twists and turns as she uncovers secrets. The pacing is a little slow at times but overall it is a solid mystery.
Many thanks to Kensington and to Netgalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

This is not a classic whodunnit, there's elements of noir/thriller and romantic suspense. It's a fast paced story that features a strong and clever heroine who fights for the underdogs, and she's not afraid to go to dark places to discover the truth. Well plotted and intriguing; a good start for a new series and I can't wait to read more.

When I read the title I thought about a classic mystery, Death of Jezebel by Christianna Brand. This is not a classic whodunnit, there's elements of noir/thriller and romantic suspense.

Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

An intriguing start to a new series. Keke worked the club and now, as an investigative reporter, she's working to find the murderer of a woman who worked there. This has a fair amount of drama but it's also got an interesting protagonist in Keke. I'm looking forward to the next one.

This book exuded a strong P Valley vibe, prompting me to draw parallels between the characters in the book and those from the TV show. While Keke's naivety in her romantic relationships did grate on my nerves at times, the overall reading experience was enjoyable. The resolution of the mystery behind "whodunit" was somewhat expected, but the narrative flowed smoothly and kept me engaged. Despite this, the ending left me pondering some unresolved questions. This was my initial introduction to the author's writing, but I am eager to delve into more of their work.

Thank you Kensington and Dafina for the ARC and opportunity to provide an honest review.
