"Femi makes three, you know. Three and they label you a serial killer." 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. Sharp as nails and full of deadpan wit, Oyinkan Braithwaite has written a deliciously deadly debut that's as fun as it is frightening." -- $c Provided by publisher 586 $a Booker Prize longlist, 2019. 650 0 $a Sisters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Serial murderers $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Nigeria $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Black humor. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Satirical literature. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Book club set. $2 local 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117022022.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20200414013047.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=230429665AC111EA8D3B9A1297128E48 994 $a C0 $b JUHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
