My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite
Ayoola, Korede’s sister, is a lot of things: the favoured child, the most attractive, and perhaps psychopathic. And now Ayoola’s third partner in a row has passed away after being fatally stabbed in the heart with her own knife.
The practicality of Korede is the sisters’ saviour. She discourages Ayoola from sharing photos on Instagram when she should be grieving for her “lost” partner because she knows the best ways to transport a body (wrap it in sheets like a mummy) and the best ways to clean blood (bleach, bleach, and more bleach). She doesn’t get any credit, though.

At the hospital where she works, Korede has been in love with a nice, charming doctor for a long time. She imagines the day when he will understand how much he needs her. However, when he requests Korede give him Ayoola’s phone number, she is forced to consider the kind of person her sister has become and the lengths she will go to keep her safe.
In Nigeria, there are 2 sisters. The older sister is Korede, and the younger sister is Ayoola. The two girls come from a wealthy home where the mother and daughters are attempting to continue after the death of the father many years ago. Ayoola is a fashion designer and YouTube celebrity, while Korede is about to be the hospital’s head nurse.
According to the book, the father passed away ten years prior and was attempting to sell his 14-year-old daughter to the Chief of another village at the time of his passing. It offered a fantastic chance for business. Ayoola needs Korede to get here immediately in the present when the story starts since she just killed another man. Since she was 17 years old, Korede has been clearing up her sister’s “mistakes.” She worries that as long as her sister is a serial killer, this will become the new normal for her, and Korede will always have to mop up the blood.
You keep changing your mind about who the trustworthy source is as the narrative develops. Is Ayoola a murderous serial murderer or is she repeating her horrible upbringing and needs to kill to get rid of the pain? Could she be a sociopath? Is Korede blameless in this situation? Why does she keep assisting her sister? Is blood viscous like water?
