As smart and murderous as Killing Eve, My Sister, the Serial Killer is a blackly comic novel about how blood is thicker - and more difficult to get out of the carpet - than water... 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... 'Feverishly hot' Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl on the Train 'Lethally elegant' Luke Jennings, author of Killing Eve: Codename Villanelle 'The wittiest and most fun murder party you've ever been invited to'

My sister. The serial killer

I got this book as a recommendation from a friend and I was very sceptical of reading it but I definitely enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. The chapters are very short so you can always put the book down and resume reading whenever you would like.
