My Sister, the Serial Killer is about 2 sisters living in Nigeria. One is a serial killer and the other one is the person she calls to deal with the body!
This was a really unexpected read for me. It has an unusual storyline and was very well written. Short chapters and the fast pace make it a quick read.
Both sisters grew up under the influence of a violent father. This has left a mark on both girls but in very different ways.
Ayoola is a unrepentant serial killer. Beautiful and popular but selfish and egotistical, she is used to everyone falling at her feet and doing exactly what she wants.
Korede is a nurse at the local hospital and is passionate about taking care about her patients. However she is frustratingly passive and is enabling Ayoola’s murderous tendencies. It’s understandable that as the elder of the two girls, she feels obliged to protect her sister, especially as she was unable to do so when their father was alive, however she takes this to the extreme by disposing of the bodies.
I didn’t particularly like either of the sisters and it was clear to see that their behaviour as adults was impacted by their childhood and living with a violent and oppressive father. For me neither of them had any real likeable or redeeming qualities.
Having said all of that, I was interested in their fate and what would happen next in this crazy story, therefore I would say give this a go especially if you want to read something with an unusual storyline and some morally questionable characters!
