Murder Bimbo: A gloriously deranged, stylish, debut literary thriller: 'Flays the political moment' Torrey Peters

'Flays the political moment. At all levels, it is a blast' Torrey Peters, author of Detransition, Baby

'Brimming with acidic humour . . . perfect for fans of A Certain Hunger and Boy Parts. Murder Bimbo is surely going to be the book everyone is talking about in 2026' Jessie Elland, The Ladie Upstairs

I'm a 32-year-old sex worker who just killed a politician. Please, please, please turn me into a feminist anti-hero . . .

A 32-year-old sex worker has just killed extremist political hopeful Meat Neck. Holed up in an off-the-grid cabin in the woods, she now has only two days, her wits and a high-speed internet connection 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.

But, when she starts a new set of emails, this time addressed to her ex-girlfriend, we begin to realize that Murder Bimbo might not be the unsuspecting cog she claims to be.

In a time where 'truth' is more flexible than ever before - who really is Murder Bimbo? And what will she do next?

Introducing an unforgettable character for our times: hyper-articulate, totally untrustworthy, politically murky, charmingly petty, and wholly egotistical - this is . . . MURDER BIMBO.

'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

'Fun, layered, and loaded with wit. Murder Bimbo is a romp through the American political landscape, infused with a propulsive plot and a voice that shouts right from the page. Impossible to put down' Jodie Matthews, author of Meet Me at the Surface

'I devoured this sharp and acidic romp of a thriller, with its deliciously dark and unreliable narrator. Intriguing, compelling, beguiling - I was completely at the mercy of our slippery heroine, and loved every minute of it. Gloriously, riotously unhinged' Emma van Straaten, author of This Immaculate Body

'What a ride! A self-mythologizing, feminist heroine for our awful age, a political assassination, and lesbian longing - I did not want this bloody clever and acerbic novel to end' Charlotte Vassell, author of The Other Half

'Refreshing, raw and radically funny' Christine Anne Foley, Kate O'Brien Award shortlisted author of Bodies
