Sleep is important but...I stayed awake dreaming of a compulsively readable thriller about a famous woman's descent into madness, drawing heavily from Perfect Blue and Black Swan. Agents if you have it, send it. #MSWL

"I'm on the lookout for mystery thrillers that explore a 'true crime' in their fictional world. Who does it impact, and how? What is justice? Think A GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDERING, NOTHING CAN HURT YOU, MY FLAWLESS LIFE, and JACKAL."

Domestic #Thriller novels with protagonists who make dreadful decisions for all the right (or wrong) reasons.
Show me inner vulnerability, and I will root for the worst villain and hope they get away with it.
Yes to crime--murder, larceny, embezzlement--but no rape. 4/?
