Dead Dead Girls by Nekesa Afia

5.0

I truly enjoyed this historical mystery! In this classic whodunnit, we’re met with twists and turns while Louise, a queer Black woman searches for the person murdering Black girls around her neighborhood. The police department allows her to assist in the investigation and Louise makes it her job to find who did it. I loved reading about how strong-willed she is and I couldn’t help but root for her after she experienced so much trauma.
