ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE'S 100 BEST MYSTERY AND THRILLER BOOKS OF ALL TIME BOOKER PRIZE NOMINEE A taut and darkly funny contemporary noir that moves at lightning speed, it s the wittiest and most fun murder party you ve ever been invited to. MARIE CLAIRE
Korede s sister Ayoola is many things: the favorite child, the beautiful one, possibly sociopathic. And now Ayoola s third boyfriend in a row is dead, stabbed through the heart with Ayoola s knife.
Korede s practicality is the sisters saving grace. She knows the best solutions for cleaning blood (bleach, bleach, and more bleach), the best way to move a body (wrap it in sheets like a mummy), and she keeps Ayoola from posting pictures to Instagram when she should be mourning her missing boyfriend. Not that she gets any credit.
Korede has long been in love with a kind, handsome doctor at the hospital where she works. She dreams of the day when he will realize that she s exactly what he needs. But when he asks Korede for Ayoola s phone number, she must reckon with what her sister has become and how far she s willing to go to protect her.
