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
