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….
