Synopsis

This is the book fans of Candace Bushnell have been waiting for. From the author of Sex and the City," Lipstick Jungle," and The Carrie Diaries" comes an addictive story about fame, love, and foolishness that will keep readers enthralled to the very last enticing scene. Pandy "PJ" Wallis is a renowned writer whose novels about a young woman making her way in Manhattan have spawned a series of blockbuster films. After the success of the Monica books and movies, Pandy wants to attempt something different: a historical novel based on her ancestor Lady Wallis. But Pandy's publishers and audience only want her to keep cranking out more Monica-as does her greedy husband, Jonny, who's gone deeply in debt to finance his new restaurant in Las Vegas. When her marriage crumbles and the boathouse of her family home in Connecticut goes up in flames, Pandy suddenly realizes she has an opportunity to reinvent herself. But to do so, she will have to reconcile with her ex-best friend and former partner in crime, SondraBeth Schnowzer, who plays Monica on the big screen-and who may have her own reasons to derail Pandy's startling change of plan. In KILLING MONICA, Candace Bushnell spoofs and skewers her way through pop culture, celebrity worship, fame, and the meaning of identity. With her trademark humor and style, this is Bushnell's sharpest, funniest book to date

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)
