Julie Chan Is Dead

Julie Chan Is Dead by Lian Zhang is a jaw-dropping psychological thriller about identity, obsession, and the dark reality behind social media fame. Perfect for fans of fast-paced suspense like You or Gone Girl, this diabolical debut blends mystery with a chilling exploration of influencer culture.

Julie Chan lives an ordinary life as a supermarket cashier—until her estranged identical twin, Chloe VanHuusen, a glamorous social media influencer, is found dead under suspicious circumstances. With nothing to lose, Julie steps into Chloe’s elite world, taking over her luxurious lifestyle, perfectly curated Instagram feed, and millions of adoring followers.

At first, impersonating Chloe seems like the opportunity of a lifetime. But behind the flawless selfies and #blessed captions lies a tangled web of secrets, manipulation, and betrayal. On a lavish island retreat surrounded by Chloe’s influencer friends, Julie begins to suspect that someone in the inner circle knows more about her sister’s death than they’re letting on—and they may be watching her every move.

Blending sharp social commentary with addictive tension, Julie Chan Is Dead delivers a pulse-pounding story that asks: how well can we really know someone—especially online?

This title is available in flexible, reflowable EPUB, precisely formatted PDF, and MOBI formats, readable across all major devices including Kindle, Kobo, iPad, and Calibre.
