Korede is a strait-laced, no-nonsense nurse at St. Peter's hospital in Lagos. Her younger sister, Ayoola, is gorgeous, flighty, and self-centered. They have a powerful bond that involves the serial killing of Ayoola's boyfriends and Korede's excellent skills at cleaning up the mess. Sounds implausible, but Braithwaite's fresh and assured prose brings the reader in so close that it all makes perfect sense. Why does Ayoola kill? And why does Korede believe that she has no choice but to help cover up? That's the question, and I greatly enjoyed getting to the answer. I will definitely be on the wait list for Braithwaite's next work.
