If you’re looking for a narrator you can actually trust, keep scrolling because Murder Bimbo is designed to lie to your face.
Rebecca Novack’s debut is a sharp, audacious pivot from the standard thriller. Told entirely through a series of emails, it’s a story that feels like it’s slipping through your fingers the moment you think you’ve figured it all out.
A sex worker using the alias "Murder Bimbo" emails a true-crime podcaster, claiming she was recruited by government agents to assassinate a controversial politician. But as the "paper trail" shifts to personal emails and memoirs, the cracks widen. It becomes a brilliant psychological autopsy of how "the truth" is often just a story edited for effect.
Narrator Jennifer Pickens is phenomenal. She brings a cool, intellectual confidence in a voice that’s impossible to fully trust. And that’s the point. Her performance heightens the novel’s tension. It keeps you questioning, even as you suspect you’re being played.
If you love moral ambiguity, epistolary formats, and protagonists who refuse to be "likable," put this on your tbr list. It’s a great choice for fans of Gone Girl, smart unreliable narrators, and political conspiracies.
Murder Bimbo is out tomorrow. Many thanks to Simon & Schuster Audio for the complimentary early listen! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
