About
A wickedly funny, "compulsively readable" (Sophie Stava, author of Count My Lies) novel about a San Diego housewife whose obsessive love affair with her neighbor's roofer is interrupted by a murder.
Perdita Jungfrau is in crisis. A married social worker in San Diego, she has fallen in love with her neighbor's anarcho-Marxist roofer, Nando, and life seems to put every possible obstacle in their way. Nando is fifteen years younger and has a girlfriend. Perdita is pregnant and terrified of breaking up her family. But there is no denying this tantalizing man who entrusts her with his deepest secret.
Three years later, Perdita's lover has been murdered. When someone close to her becomes the prime suspect, the wheels come off for Perdita…and the reader.
Craftily interweaving the story of the affair with the period after the murder, A Little Bit Bad is an obsessive love story that ends with a titillating twist.
