This is the premise for the first Detective By Day novel, Hollywood Homicide. So Dayna decides there and then to become an amateur sleuth. There’s a $15,000 reward offered for any imformation that leads to apprehension and conviction. As luck would have it, on the night of the incident, Dayna and her friends were witnesses to what would turn out to be murder. She’s a proud woman who refuses to capitalise on her fame, instead she’s focusing on how she can save her parents’ home from going into foreclosure.Īn opportunity arrives in the form of a billboard asking for information on the hit-and-run death of local shop worker Haley Joseph. Now broke and unable to afford gas, Dayna has taken up residence in a room the size of a closet at her best friend Sienna’s apartment. Her two books to date feature Dayna Anderson, an actress who was well known for being the face behind the Chubby Chicken commericals ( I don’t think so, boo!), and is consistently almost recognised wherever she goes ( Didn’t we go to high school together?). Like Rachel, Los Angeles is in Kellye’s heart, blood, and soul. Eight years of working in Hollywood, including writing for the TV show Cold Case gave Kellye an insider’s view on the rat-race that is entertainment’s premier capital town. Another Black writer to feature on BestBub’s 100 Best Crime Novels Of All Time is Kellye Garrett. My previous post recommended Rachel Howzell Hall’s new novel, as well as her back catalogue (seriously, why are you waiting?).
