My Sister, the Serial Killer

Oyinkan Braithwaite’s debut is a darkly comic thriller set in Lagos, where sisterly loyalty collides with moral horror. The narrator’s deadpan voice heightens the novel’s satirical edge. Braithwaite explores gender, beauty, and complicity within a fast-paced, tightly plotted narrative. The book skewers social expectations while remaining sharply entertaining. Its brevity amplifies its punch. A witty, unsettling take on love and violence.
