Though misleading at first, Kelly is quite the noire tale promised by the alluring artwork, albeit in atypical fashion. Minus the implied sleaze Kelly does include a series of crime vinaigrettes which keep the narrative dark and ever brooding. As for the titular character herself, she’s not the femme fatale one might expect rather a wholesome character who too often is taken for a ride by men and women alike all too keen to exploit her generosity.
