When I first heard about this book, I knew I wanted to read it instantly. There are few writers who dare to really explore the dark side of women, especially going as far as murder. Most often as well, these characters are very cookie-cutter, the American, white, middle-class sociopath. Focusing on a Nigerian woman who's not only allowed to be three dimensional, but also has help from her sister in hiding the bodies, adds another element of intrigue, and another layer to an already interesting writing style.
Reading an excerpt, I really enjoyed Braithwaite's writing style and felt quickly immersed in the story.
The cover reminds me slightly of Fear and loathing in Las Vegas due to the colours and graphic style. I think the woman looks relaxed, with a hint of a smile on her lips, which would suit the main character very well as she seems very comfortable with her misdeeds.
All in all, I think it paints a story of a very intriguing set of characters that I'd like to get to know better.
