Hartl/Lane's new novel is The Best Little Motel in Texas.
Recently I asked the author about what she was reading. Her reply:
Visit Lyla Lane's website.I just finished Murder Bimbo by Rebecca Novack, and I can say with certainty that this is going to be one of my favorite reads of the year. It was an epistolary novel about a sex worker who assassinates a right-wing politician known as Meat Neck. With one story told three different ways, depending on who the unreliable narrator was trying to persuade, this absolutely unhinged book was a delight from start to finish.
