Murder Bimbo

By Rebecca Novack

Book Overview

"Deviously intelligent...Irresistible." --The New York Times Book Review - "Murder Bimbo is Gone Girl for the Luigi Mangione era." --Catherine Lacey, author of Biography of X

The exhilaratingly twisty story of a sex worker turned political assassin on the run, Murder Bimbo is a fiercely fresh take on truth, murder, and optics in our national moment that "will keep you on your toes" (Bustle).

"I'm not a liar... I tell the truth at whatever cost. I tell the truth even if it means I have to edit a story for people to get the important parts."

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.

Deciding her best bet is to reach out to the feminist investigative podcast Justice for Bimbos and appeal to the host to tell her story, she the newly self-styled "Murder Bimbo" lays out her truth in a hastily typed series of emails and presses send.

Then she starts a new email. This time, it's addressed to her ex, and the facts line up a little differently...

Customer Reviews

RN Was Trying Too Hard.

Whatever Rebecca Novack thought she was doing with this book did not work. It’s full of a Bunch of twists and turns that inevitably led to either the lamest payout ever or no payout at all. I couldn’t care about the things she desperately wanted readers to care about with this story, and the things I actually wanted elaboration on she didn’t seem to care to explain. Also anyone editing this story should have been able to read it and see clear as day; 3 different perspectives of the same story told by the same person doesn’t make the novel innovative. It makes it confusing, and a failed attempt at the “unreliable narrator” approach. Premise is great even though it didn’t know what it wanted to be. It’s an easy read. But also riddled with editing errors.
