But Alice has far more important things to worry about: hating her best friend's husband, getting free wine and quiet-quitting her dull day job. Until she meets Erika.Now, Alice is about to find herself drawn into action of the most radical - and dangerous - kind. Just what is a slacker to do?Bold and brilliantly bizarre, She's a Killer is the satirical dystopian cli-fi thriller you never knew you needed. Until now.

She's a Killer | Kirsten McDougall

Pickpick

A near genius (& semi-sociopath) whose childhood imaginary friend has recently returned out of the blue finds herself babysitting Erika, the teen daughter of a wealthy expat. The climate crisis has triggered a flood of rich "wealthugees" seeking a safe haven from catastrophe in New Zealand, while the locals deal with water shortages and soaring food prices. A highly readable and very dark look at a future where money buys safety--until it doesn't.
