Stacey Lee has proven herself to be a masterful storyteller in historical fiction, and Kill Her Twice looks to be no exception. The contrast between the two main sisters, dutiful and rule-following versus an impulsive dreamer, sets the stage for a dynamic team to conduct an amateur investigation into the murder of their old friend turned movie star. The author's continued focus on Chinese/Chinese-American historical stories shines an ongoing light on elements of racism and segregation (both implied and overt) in American history that is often sidelined in textbooks.
