The circumstances of Molly Marx’s death may be suspicious,
but she hasn’t lost her joie de vivre. Newly arrived in the
hereafter, aka the Duration, Molly, thirty-five years old,
is delighted to discover that she can still keep tabs on
those she left behind: Annabel, her beloved four-year-old
daughter; Lucy, her combustible twin sister; Kitty, her
piece-of-work mother-in-law; Brie, her beautiful and
steadfast best friend; and, of course, her husband, Barry, a
plastic surgeon with more than a professional interest in
many of his female patients. As a bonus, Molly quickly
realizes that the afterlife comes with a finely tuned
bullshit detector. As Molly looks on, her loved ones try to discern whether her
death was an accident, suicide, or murder. She was last seen
alive leaving for a bike ride through New York City’s
Riverside Park; her body was found lying on the bank of the
Hudson River. Did a stranger lure Molly to danger? Did she
plan to meet someone she thought she could trust? Could she
have ended her own life for mysterious reasons, or did she
simply lose control of her bike? As the police question her
circle of intimates, Molly relives the years and days that
led up to her sudden end: her marriage, troubled yet tender;
her charmed work life as a magazine decorating editor; and
the irresistible colleague to whom she was drawn. More than anything, Molly finds herself watching over
Annabel – and realizing how motherhood helped to bring out
her very best self. As the investigation into her death
proceeds, Molly will relive her most precious moments – and
take responsibility for the choices in her life. Exploring the bonds of fidelity, family, and friendship, and
narrated by a memorable and endearing character, The Late,
Lamented Molly Marx is a hilarious, deeply moving, and
thought-provoking novel that is part mystery, part love
story, and all heart.
