Synopsis

In Killing Monica Bushnell spoofs and skewers her way through pop culture, celebrity worship, fame and even the meaning of life itself, when a famous writer must resort to faking her own death in order to get her life back from her most infamous creation - Monica. With her trademark humour and style, Killing Monica is Bushnell's sharpest, funniest book to date.

This is Bushnell at her best - full of mordant wit, casual sex and highly conspicuous consumption.

About this title

Review:

Full to the brim with scandal . . . Bushnell's trademark sharp humour makes this a must-read (Essentials)

Packed with her trademark wit . . . a perfect summer read (Closer)

Fans of Sex and the City rejoice . . . Bushnell's wit is devastatingly dark and subversive . . . a welcome antidote to saccharine tales of finding "the one" (Heat)

Fabulous (Daily Mail)

One of those novels you promise you will read for half-an-hour, only to realise when you look up again that several hours have passed . . . a pacy read packed with juicy scandal and lashings of wry humour (Herald)

From the Author:

Compared by the Observer to Nancy Mitford and by the Sunday Telegraph to 'Jane Austen with a Martini', Candace Bushnell is the critically acclaimed, international best-selling novelist whose first book, Sex and the City, published in 1996, was the basis for the HBO hit series. Bushnell captured the country's attention with Sex and the City by breaking down the bedroom doors of New York City's rich and beautiful to expose true contemporary stories of sex, love and relationships.
