She's a Killer (2021)
Kirsten McDougall
"McDougall's dystopian future is no distant vision: it's disturbingly familiar, urgently relevant. Narrator Alice is a brilliant creation - complex, prickly, often hilarious - and I was utterly in her thrall as she swept me along to the book's astonishing finale. Unputdownable."
