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.
