Second Sister
by Chan Ho-Kei
Chan Ho-Kei has created an engaging Novel.
Second Sister is a crime thriller set in Hong Kong.
Nga-Yee Au twenty-three yrs. old lived
on the twenty second floor of the Wuh Wah House with her younger sister Siu-Man
Au, fifteen yrs. Old.
One evening when Nga-Yee was on her
way home from the supermarket, thinking what to make for dinner. She noticed a
large crowd and police officers gathering in from of her building. Not knowing
what was going on her same floor neighbor whom they called Auntie Chan, grabbed
her feverishly and repeated the word sister. When she gets closer the only thing,
she sees is a girl in a white school uniform laying there. It was her sister. and
it was then that she was told her sister killed herself.
Nga-Yee was very confused. The past
6 months was though on both of them specially Siu-Man but she was sure her
sister didn’t kill herself.
What follows is a cat and mouse game
through the city of Hong Kong and its digital underground, especially an online
gossip platform.
It is a page turner thriller with
brilliant twist and turns. This was my first book by Chan Ho-Kei who is a renowned
Chinese author for thriller.
Many Thanks to NetGalley and Grove
Atlantic for the ARC.
