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. Jett Bennett moved to New York to become a music journalist. What she found was a temp gig as a proofreader, but at least she's fitting in with the artists and musicians in the tragically hip Brooklyn neighborhood she calls home. But when Jett opens up her mail and finds a mix tape meant for her neighbor, KitKat, a local queen bee renowned for her "enhanced" baked goods and retro videogame collection, everything changes. Jett drops off the cassette and discovers that it's game over for KitKat: someone bashed her head in with a rolling pin...and left her pot brownies burning in the oven. KitKat's boyfriend, Bronco, is M.I.A. Her sister is so desperate that she asks Jett to snoop around. Then there's that mix tape. Jett didn't know KitKat well, but she knows music. And a tape full of love songs from someone other than Bronco screams motive-sending Jett and her best friend, Sid, on an epic quest to find KitKat's killer through record stores, strip joints, vegan bakeries, and basement nightclubs-a journey that resonates with Jett, and her past, in unexpected ways.
