Nominated for the Booker Prize 2019.

Shortlisted for the 2019 Women’s Prize for Fiction.

Korede is bitter. How could she not be? Her sister, Ayoola, is many things: the favourite child, the beautiful one, possibly sociopathic. And now Ayoola's third boyfriend in a row is dead.

Korede's practicality is the sisters' saving grace. She knows the best solutions for cleaning blood, the trunk of her car is big enough for a body and she keeps Ayoola from posting pictures of her dinner to Instagram when she should be mourning her 'missing' boyfriend. Not that she gets any credit.

A kind, handsome doctor at the hospital where Korede works is the bright spot in her life. She dreams of the day when he will realise they're perfect for each other. But one day Ayoola shows up to the hospital uninvited and he takes notice. When he asks Korede for Ayoola's phone number, she must reckon with what her sister has become and what she will do about it. Sharp as nails and full of deadpan wit, Oyinkan Braithwaite has written a deliciously deadly debut that's as fun as it is frightening.

Read this book and at times heard it on Audible. I must say the listening it on Audible and especially this one is an amazing experience. The reader Weruche Opia does an amazing job. The book in itself has amazing storyline and unique. Not diving into minds of a serial killer or any investigation as the name says it instead goes into the mind of Korede the elder sister and how she pictures her younger sibling Ayoola, whose a serial killer maybe cuz of her disturbed childhood.
The book also dives into letting us know that if our conscious is too enlightened is when we feel emotions like guilt, after an act of violence. Although when either our conscious is not grown or we are pretty self centered we rarely dive into our own self n blame ourselves for our wrong doing and feel guilty. That's what Ayoola is, never wrong.
Undoubtedly a great read, a 4 from my side. Although the manuscript needed a better ending, in my personal opinion.
