Grab your popcorn and a friend and get ready for a propulsive online conversation with author Liann Zhang as she chats with us about her debut thriller Julie Chan is Dead.

In this brilliantly dark thriller, Julie Chan has nothing, but her twin sister has everything except a pulse. Julie Chan, a supermarket cashier with nothing to lose, is thrust into the glamorous yet perilous world of her late twin sister, Chloe, a popular influencer. Separated at a young age, the identical twins were opposites and rarely spoke. When Julie discovers Chloe’s lifeless body under mysterious circumstances, she seizes the chance to live the life she’s always envied.

About the Author: Liann Zhang is a second-generation Chinese Canadian who splits her time between Vancouver, British Columbia, and Toronto, Ontario. After a short stint as a skincare content creator, she graduated from the University of Toronto with a degree in psychology and criminology. Julie Chan Is Dead is her first novel.
