But once the deed is done, she realizes what made her the perfect recruit: She’s 100% disposable.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Her best bet is to reach out to the wildly popular feminist investigative podcast \u003ci\u003eJustice for Bimbos\u003c\/i\u003e. 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Then she opens a new email. This time, it’s addressed to her ex, and the facts line up a little differently…\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Constructed in three increasingly unhinged acts, each a more subversive, twisted version of the story than the last, \u003ci\u003eMurder Bimbo\u003c\/i\u003e can be read as a gloriously bold literary thriller, a satirical megalomaniac’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.","brand":"Rebecca Novack","offers":[{"title":"Avid Reader Press \/ Simon \u0026amp; Schuster |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2026-02-10","offer_id":47342796275967,"sku":"9781668228913","price":25.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_f9d38bc6-4235-4218-9382-af9d54561be8.jpg?v=1760107371","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781668228913","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
