"An astonishing debut as mesmerizing as it is unnerving." --Joyce Carol OatesA day-in-the-life debut novel about a fading socialite on the hunt for someone to kill her before her next SoulCycle class."A tale of suspense, a statement, a cry for help, and a delicious tour-de-force.” --Nell ZinkNew York City, 2014. Agnes Maurer seeks a willing murderer and wonders what she should wear. Candidates include: an icy magazine editor with a special cutlery set; an eccentric designer from her past; and Agnes's cruel novelist boyfriend.
