My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite

Sibling loyalties are pushed to their limits in Nigerian noir novel, [My Sister the Serial Killer](https://suffolklibraries.overdrive.com/media/5563684?cid=1149788).

Korede is bitter. How could she not be? Her sister, Ayoola, is many things: the favorite child, the beautiful one, possibly sociopathic. And now Ayoola's third boyfriend in a row is dead. Korede's practicality is the sisters' saving grace. She knows the best solutions for cleaning blood, the trunk of her car is big enough for a body, and she keeps Ayoola from posting pictures of her dinner to Instagram when she should be mourning her "missing" boyfriend. Not that she gets any credit.

A kind, handsome doctor at the hospital where Korede works is the bright spot in her life. She dreams of the day when he will realize they're perfect for each other. But one day Ayoola shows up to the hospital uninvited and he takes notice. When he asks Korede for Ayoola's phone number, she must reckon with what her sister has become and what she will do about it.

This darkly comic slashfest was nominated for the Booker Prize as well as being a finalist for the 2019 Women's Prize.
