Satire meets slasher in this short, darkly funny hand grenade of a novel about a Nigerian woman whose younger sister has a very inconvenient habit of killing her boyfriends.
Korede is bitter. How could she not be? Her sister, Ayoola, is many things: the favorite 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 realize 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.

【Booker2019】A real page turner...作者把故事分划成很多小章节，提炼一个关键字，其中以FATHER为题的章节进行创伤性回忆。（我觉得这种现时回忆的写法可能是本书入选的最重要原因…）我一直存疑的一点是，作者把几个主要人物都描绘得相当生动，特别是Ayoola的多重个性，控制欲、自我陶醉、脆弱良善、虚伪自知以及深刻的洞察和不以为然，但作为叙述者的“我”，Korede，其实相当模棱两可，做了很多典型的事情，但反映出来的是相当模板化的形象。姐妹俩的关系同样很典型，只不过故事中因为血案更为极端。当然作者也扯进去很多家暴、女权、政治等等大主题，但笔法还是太稚嫩，痕迹太明显。就拿回忆过往来讲，显然是为了解释杀人动机，可粗糙淡漠得近乎“无用”。(need enlightments
评分not very unpredictable, but a funny, ironic novel nevertheless
评分3.5. A very engaging, fast, dark and fun read. 如果喜欢电视剧Dexter,这类挑战读者对于道德、亲情和忠诚度的关系等看法的作品应该会让人感兴趣。让我感觉作者写得尤其好的地方是姐妹俩的关系--能让人信服她们之间这种特别的纽带联系，而且从头到尾一直在“合理”地变化，包括最后姐姐的选择都让我能相信（哪怕在这么暗黑的故事里）。这不是一本深刻的书，但确实很新颖，尤其在你厌倦了绝大多数有犯罪行为的书和影视作品里（还未必要是crime fiction类别，包括自传和纪录片，因为现实如此）受害者都是女性的时候，一个写的不是自嗨而已的女性视角犯罪小说，且在一个公平公正无望的社会里，姐妹“团结一致“的违法行为...阅读体验还是挺不一样。
评分故事设定挺不错，从连环杀人凶手姐姐的角度叙述，悬念制造的很精彩，是能够吸引你迅速读完的一本小说。细节方面有很多地方经不起推敲，当作娱乐小说看看就好。尼日利亚的腐败现象早有耳闻，从书里提到的贿赂交警的片段可见一斑。另外，文笔很差。查了一下，作者88年的，鼓励一下四星吧。
评分有点失望????…是因为期望太高了吗
