Synopsis

“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 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.

Goodreads review by Morgan on October 13, 2025

This is one of those books that I would only recommend to specific friends who are also insane lol. I love how weird the protagonist is, I love an unreliable narrator, I love the psycho babble of someone who has ever-changing morals and values that she vehemently defends as if she’s held them for al......more

I honestly don't even know how to favorably review this one except to say it was entertaining. Truthfully, though, this was the worst kind of unreliable narrator and the three varying acts on the same story ended up feeling redundant.......more

Goodreads review by Elizabeth on December 03, 2025

Murder Bimbo is quintessentially millennial. An unreliable narrator sex worker assassinates a rising right-wing political figure and would be more worried about the optics of her having completed this mission with a bunch of racists if she weren't primarily fixated on impressing her ex-girlfriend. A......more

Goodreads review by Katie on October 16, 2025

So the thing about writing a “sign of the times” book is that you have to reveal something or actually even take a stance and not just mash a bunch of red scare adjacent mood board items together. Local woman enraged that book entitled “murder Bimbo” is exactly how it sounds......more

Goodreads review by Dani on September 16, 2025

Ah, what won’t lesbians do for love, or, is it love? Murder Bimbo is for fans of obsessive/psychological thrillers with unreliable queer narrators. Ms. Bimbo, truly, brava. Only slightly timely, I fear. It could use some work in being more topical (im being very sarcastic). I didn’t know where Ms. B......more
