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.
'A devious and outrageously entertaining satire that skewers America's surreal political landscape' New York Times
'The pacing is rip-roaring and it is impossible to tell where the narrative will go next in this thrilling ride' The Skinny
'Gone Girl for the Luigi Mangione era' Catherine Lacey, author of Biography of X
'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
'Fun, layered, and loaded with wit. Impossible to put down' Jodie Matthews, author of Meet Me at the Surface
'Gloriously, riotously unhinged' Emma van Straaten, author of This Immaculate Body
'Dark, topical and bloody hilarious' Matilde Pratesi, author of Pig
'Prescient and entertainingly unnerving. A riotous, compulsive read' Ahana Virdi, author of Sour Fruit
'Profoundly bleak and entirely hilarious. I loved it' Niamh Nì Mhaoileoin
