Bookseller recommendation

“In this darkly comedic novel of espionage, rage, confusion, and murder, the reader follows a pitiable sex worker who is unwittingly drawn into a plot to assassinate a politician. Or, actually, it's about a heartbroken sex worker who teams up with a group of neo-Nazis to kill her abuser. Wait, sorry, it's actually about a sex worker who, to win back her girlfriend, plots to kill a politician, and an FBI agent, too, maybe....No, actually, it's about, um....You should probably just read it and find out for yourself. ”

“Hell yeah, brother. Murder Bimbo gave me just what I needed - a messy, unreliable narrator, a political-ish point of view that's long on wit and style, and a Rashomon-style form that propelled the plot through to its final resting place (maybe?). Everyone is comparing it to Gone Girl, but I think it's more One Battle After Another if Perfidia were in charge. ”

“Murder Bimbo will fascinate and horrify you. A sex worker is embroiled in a plot to kill Meat Neck, an alt-right ex-football player turned politician. She pens a series of emails to a podcaster and her ex-girlfriend. Which story is the truth?”
— Jennifer Jones • Bookmiser

Summary
About the author

“Murder Bimbo is Gone Girl for the Luigi Mangione era, and Rebecca Novack is one of our funniest and most acerbic new writers.” —Catherine Lacey, author of Biography of X The exhilaratingly twisty story of a sex worker turned political assassin on the run, Murder Bimbo is an unputdownable and wholly fresh take on truth, murder, and optics in our national moment. A thirty-two-year-old sex worker is shocked when she’s approached by undercover government agents to aid them in a top-secret plot to assassinate a politician known as Meat Neck. But once the deed is done, she realizes what made her the perfect recruit: She’s 100% disposable. Holed up in an off-the-grid cabin in the woods, she now has only two days, her wits, and a laptop to save her own life. Her best bet is to reach out to the wildly popular feminist investigative podcast Justice for Bimbos. In a hastily typed series of emails, the newly minted “Murder Bimbo” explains how she was recruited and then trained by a cabal of code-named US agents to take out Meat Neck. Then she opens a new email. This time, it’s addressed to her ex, and the facts line up a little differently… Constructed in three increasingly unhinged acts, each a more subversive version of the story than the last, Murder Bimbo can be read as a gloriously bold literary thriller, a satirical vigilante's manifesto, or a raucous send-up of the political insanity we all live inside every day. Either way, it’s a dead-serious announcement of an electric new voice in American literature.
