Description
Other People's Clothes by Calla Henkel is a darkly funny and thrilling debut novel about two art students who arrive in Berlin from New York, desperate to escape their problems. Zoe is grieving for her best friend murdered months before, while Hailey is obsessed with the exploits of Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears.
Desperate for excitement, they rent a once-magnificent apartment from eccentric crime writer Beatrice Becks, who becomes their unlikely hostess. As they spend their nights twisting through Berlin's club scene and their days hungover, inexplicable things start happening in the apartment, leading them to suspect they're being watched by Beatrice.
Convinced that their landlord is using their lives as inspiration for her next thriller novel, they decide to beat her at her own game. But as their wild parties gain notoriety, they find themselves unable to control the narrative, and it spirals into much darker territory.
