Stacey Lee does it again~ immediately transporting the reader into a time (not so long) past with perspectives from too often unheard voices. Her descriptions are so detailed, creative, and timely it was such a joy to travel along with the main characters. The audiobook is also flawless with the two distinct voices reading each sister’s POV and capturing their personalities from the first lines. I look forward to wherever this talented author takes us to next!

This was a very interesting and refreshing cozy murder mystery. It revolved around family and friendship, with a very light touch of romance. It showed in the background the issues that took place during the historical time the story took place. I enjoyed reading it and the plot was predictable, but still nice to read. It’s not a head banger or mysterious, but I found it it entertaining.

From the cover, which is a glamourous shot of the beautiful actress Lulu Wong and drew me right in, to the spunk and creativity and daring that May, Gemma, and a bit Peony, to solve the mystery of Lulu's horrible murder in Hollywood, this was a solid fun story to read. Yes, it was fiction, but it felt nicely real, especially with the hardships Gemma and May and their family were going through in these tumultuous times when Chinese people were looked down on and the places they lived in Chinatown were threatened to be torn down for a railway station. All that made me admire May and Gemma even more because they refused to give up, trying to find the murderer and keep their family and flower business together, making enough to keep a roof over their heads. They faced prejudice, for their race, and also gender which caused conflicts, but it was nicely balanced by good people who also wanted justice for Lulu. The looks into making movies of that time were interesting too. It was a nice and fun book to read!
