Megan Abbot’s next book comes out soon! Her next book, El Dorado Dr., will be published by G. P. Putnam and Sons. Her new book will explore: “Inspired by the dramatic rise of women involved in get-rich schemes during the pandemic, as well as real-life cases like Murder at Middle Beach, a true crime docuseries about a group of Connecticut women involved in a pyramid scheme, Abbott dove headfirst into researching various money-making ventures (many of which are insidious multi-level marketing schemes) that attract suburban women for a variety of personal and financial reasons. Abbott’s hometown of Grosse Pointe—an area once home to auto barons like the Fords that changed as the industry moved overseas and Detroit fell into decades of hardship—is the perfect setting to explore these complex dynamics. Abbott delivers a sharp, witty, and sinister novel no other author can match.”
About the Book:
The three Bishop sisters grew up in privilege in the moneyed suburbs of Detroit. But as the auto industry declined, so did their fortunes. Harper, the youngest, is barely making ends meet when her beloved, charismatic sister Pam—currently in the middle of a contentious battle with her ex-husband—and her eldest sister, Debra, approach her about joining an exciting new club.
The Wheel offers women like themselves—middle-aged and of declining means—a way to make their own money, independent of husbands or families. Quickly, however, the Wheel’s success, and their own addiction to it, leads to greater and greater risks—and a crime so shocking it threatens to bring everything down with it."
