My Sister, the Serial Killer is a funny, dark thriller about Korede and her sister, Ayoola, set in Lagos, Nigeria. Ayoola has a habit of killing her boyfriends, and loyal Korede is always there to help her clean up her mess. At first, these incidents seem to be self-defense or accidental, but Korede begins to suspect her sister is more sinister than she seems.
It is a short, fast read that keeps you enthralled throughout. This story made me laugh several times and kept me guessing until the end. The ending was a little disappointing, but it was still good. I laughed out loud, “Shame, I know thy name.” I will be looking for other books written by Ms. Braithwaite.
I loved everything about this book. I could identify with Lenny in many ways. I will reread this, for sure.
This is the debut novel from Kerryn Mayne. It follows a reclusive and slightly odd grade school teacher who is dealing with a past trauma brought back to the forefront when she receives a letter from the parole board.
Lenny is a very relatable character that you will instantly love. Mayne's writing is sharp, with moments of dark humor and vulnerability. It moves gracefully from a fun read to a suspenseful novel. The twists are unpredictable, which keeps you reading (I thought about this book constantly and picked it up at every chance.)
It's a great read! I can't wait to read more from Mayne.
Great story! Loved every character. I will place this in my “read again” pile.
