My Sister, the Serial Killer
The Sunday Times Bestseller
By Oyinkan Braithwaite
Harry Hartog's review
With its killer cover art and stab-tastic title, I was sold on My Sister, The Serial Killer the second I laid eyes on it. This spectacularly fast-paced satire is a million things: provocative, unique, mind-bending and heart-wrenching - Korede and Ayoola's dynamic as sisters is both relatable and foreign, endearing and disdainful, familiar and unknown. Braithwaite really nails some interesting observations about social media, men and what they want, and women who see right through them... an absolute thrill to read! - Molly, Bookseller
Description
When Korede's dinner is interrupted one night by a distress call from her sister, Ayoola, she knows what's expected of her: bleach, rubber gloves, nerves of steel and a strong stomach. This'll be the third boyfriend Ayoola's dispatched in, quote, self-defence and the third mess that her lethal little sibling has left Korede to clear away. She should probably go to the police for the good of the menfolk of Nigeria, but she loves her sister and, as they say, family always comes first. Until, that is, Ayoola starts dating the doctor where Korede works as a nurse. Korede's long been in love with him, and isn't prepared to see him wind up with a knife in his back: but to save one would mean sacrificing the other...
