Praise for DEAD DEAD GIRLS

Debut author Nekesa Afia brings 1920s Harlem to life in this twisty tale of murder and betrayal where nothing and no one is as it seems.
-Victoria Thompson USA Today Bestselling Author of Murder on Wall Street

Finally, the Jazz Age heroine we deserve! You’ll never forget Louise Lovie Lloyd, the fast-dancing, even faster talking protagonist at the center of this tightly-plotted mystery. Come for the music, stay for the murder.
-Eliza Jane Braizer, author of If I Disappear

'Though she be but little, she is fierce.' Shakespeare might as well have been describing Louise Lloyd, the flawed yet fantastic protagonist in Afia's debut set in 1920s Harlem. I loved the world that Afia created and can't wait to follow Lou and her friends on their next adventure. Come for the wonderfully diverse and twisty mystery, stay for the amazing 20s slang and fashion.
-Mia P. Manansala, author of Arsenic and Adobo

Dead Dead Girls expertly combines killer suspense with a heroine to die for. Exemplifying 1920's fashion and glamor, tiny Louise Lloyd shines on the dance floor of illicit speakeasies.

A Black lesbian outcast from her family, Lou learned how to take care of herself at a young age, and when young girls start dying in Harlem, she steps up to take care of them, too. Louise might be a reluctant hero, but she'll never give up no matter what the cost.

Debut author Nekesa Afia expertly creates an intricate mystery in a lush setting with a strong female main character that is so captivating I'd read a whole book of her doing nothing more exciting than baking a cake. Dead Dead Girls is a must read!
