Heads up, vinyl-loving hipsters: Cudmore's debut is for you. Jett Bennett is a young New York City temp who came to the big city with dreams of becoming a music journalist.... [M]usic is the glue that holds the story together.... Cudmore has preserved for all time a slice of current, hipster Brooklyn.
Publishers Weekly
[A] murder mystery, romance, coming-of-age story, and exercise in 1980s and 1990s music appreciation.... However, the author packs many characters and subplots into less than 300 pages, which might set some readers spinning, just like a record. [F]ast-paced, hip, and seminostalgic. —Samantha Gust, Niagara Univ. Lib., NY
Library Journal
Cudmore’s funny, breezy first novel...deftly melds mystery, romance, and music. Jett makes for a very refreshing lead in a novel that will appeal to twentysomethings as well as those enamored with Warren Zevon and the Vapors.
Booklist
(Starred review). [This] might be a new mystery subgenre—the hipster cozy.... Stories of the murdered KitKat...add depth and soul to the story. By the end, readers will...mourn her passing. A mystery that will inspire more than one playlist and, hopefully, a sequel.
