Book Review: Harlem Sunset by Nekesa Afia

Thank you Berkley and PRH Audio for my review copies.

My :

After reading and unexpectedly loving Dead Dead Girls, I’ve been highly anticipating this book!

This story focuses on Louise’s personal journey and growth from previous events. We are introduced to some of her family members and I appreciated the backstory. The story also touches on how Louise couldn’t be free when it came to her sexuality and her relationship with Rosa Marie. As a Black woman she already had two strikes against her so she had to stay in the closet and you could feel her internal struggles with it all.

As far as the mystery goes I was able to figure out the killer and the motive was kinda predictable. Overall it was still an enjoyable read and hopefully there will be another book!
