Book Review: My Sister, the Serial Killer

Ayoola and Korede are sisters with opposite emotional qualities and capacity for accountability. Ayoola is beautiful but a serial killer. Korede is the moralistic elder sister but takes care of the cleanup. The story follows Korede's perspective and her handling of the bloody aftermath. 

Many people find the book hyped. I believe that is because they expected it to be about serial killers and the investigation. The real story is much deeper then the murders. It is about dealing with one's emotional loss and other's lack of empathy. It questions skin color, sexuality, appearance and one's rejection based on it. It lets us peek into the less explored African culture and about delving into relationships and responsibilities ingrained into body through blood ties and secrets.

The book is fluid and the short chapters keeps one hooked until the end. Novel premise and smart execution wins the reader's heart and mind. I think this book could not have been made any better. 

I highly recommend it.
