Expertly plotted, JULIE CHAN IS DEAD grabbed my attention from page one and did not let go. I love stories like this where someone takes on another person's identity. Here, Zhang keeps things moving as one crazy thing after another happens to keep us in suspense. This is a terrifically entertaining and tension-filled story. The fast pacing fits well with the suspense/thriller genre. I know this one is being compared to some pretty well-known novels, but honestly, JULIE CHAN IS DEAD eclipses its comparison titles. I look forward to more from this author!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an advance e-galley; all opinions in my review are 100% my own.
