My Sister, the Serial Killer
Oyinkan Braithwaite, 2018
A Lagos woman cleans up after her beautiful sister's murders—and starts to wonder which of them is really the dangerous one.
Oyinkan Braithwaite's debut was shortlisted for the 2019 Booker Prize, unusual for a slim, darkly comic crime novel.

It is clear that the room we are in has been remodeled recently. It has that never-been-used look, especially now that I’ve spent close to three hours cleaning up. The hardest part was getting to the blood that had seeped in between the shower and the caulking. It’s an easy part to forget. Oyinkan Braithwaite, 2018
