Raymond Chandler meets Nick Hornby in this clever noir romp through
hipster Brooklyn as a mysterious mix tape puts a young amateur sleuth on
the hunt for a killer--and for the truths hidden within her own heart.
To listen to someone else's mix tapes is a huge breach of trust.
But KitKat was dead...and curiosity got the better of me.
When a mix tape destined for her friend KitKat accidentally arrives in
Jett Bennett's mailbox, she doesn't think twice about it--even in the
age of iTunes and Spotify, the hipster residents of the Barter Street
district of Brooklyn are in a constant competition to see who can be the
most retro.
But when Jett finds KitKat dead on her kitchen floor, Jett suspects the
tape might be more than just a quirky collection of lovelorn ballads.
And when KitKat's boyfriend Bronco is arrested for her murder, Jett and
her best friend Sid set out to discover the real killer on an epic urban
quest through strip joints and record stores, vegan bakeries and
basement nightclubs. But the further into KitKat's past she goes, the
more she discovers about her own left-behind love life--and the
mysterious man whose song she still clings to....
