Acerca de esta escucha

“Pulpy, peppery and sinister, served up in a comic deadpan…This scorpion-tailed little thriller leaves a response, and a sting, you will remember.” –NEW YORK TIMES

“The wittiest and most fun murder party you’ve ever been invited to.” –MARIE CLAIRE

WINNER OF THE LA TIMES BOOK PRIZE FOR MYSTERY/THRILLER
FINALIST FOR THE 2019 WOMEN’S PRIZE

A short, darkly funny, hand grenade of a novel about a Nigerian woman whose younger sister has a very inconvenient habit of killing her boyfriends

“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.

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.

Sharp as nails and full of deadpan wit, Oyinkan Braithwaite’s deliciously deadly debut is as fun as it is frightening.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Braithwaite's debut is written in quick, economical chapters that brilliantly render the setting.... A darkly, darkly funny novel.... It strips away the romanticism of the complicated sisterly relationship but perfectly illustrates its complicated contradictions." (Booklist)

"Who is more dangerous? A femme fatale murderess or the quiet, plain woman who cleans up her messes? In My Sister, the Serial Killer, Oyinkan Braithwaite answers that question with an original and compelling debut. I never knew what was going to happen, but found myself pulling for both sisters, as I relished the creepiness and humor of this modern noir." (Helen Ellis, New York Times best-selling author of American Housewife)

"Disturbing, sly and delicious, Braithwaite's novel compels us to consider the limits of loyalty and the insidious weight of silence." (Ayobami Adebayo, author of Stay with Me)

Editor's Pick

Double trouble
"A twisted sister dynamic has rarely been so enjoyable to explore as the one that Oyinkan Braithwaite has created in her edgy debut novel. Just as the younger Ayoola has embraced her role as the pretty, spoiled one in the Nigerian family, Korede has taken her role as the forgettable, responsible one to a new level as she expertly covers up her sister’s nasty little habit of killing her suitors. The real question becomes how far she will go when the next one in her sister’s path of destruction is a man Korede dreams of for herself. Listening to Adepero Oduye narrate this surprisingly funny yet suspenseful treat gives you a real sense of the internal turmoil Korede endures as she struggles with her family's problematic dynamics and her stunted sense of self."
—Abby W., Audible Editor

This was a good relaxing read about how one sister’s love protects another while jealousy is still present in their relationship.

Great, Quick Read

Very entertaining. I will definitely be looking for more from this author! The narrator was really excellent too. I love her voice.

Sisterly Love

A great read. As an eldest child, I connected with the main characters sense of duty. I wish it was longer.

Interesting Story

My brother-in-law recommended this book to me, which made me wonder if he suspects that my little sister is a sociopath. Anyway, I found the family and workplace relationships much more interesting than the murders.The narrator could probably have made any story interesting since she is so self-aware and observant; most of the other characters -- except for one -- seemed one-dimensional in comparison. And it had been a while since I read a novel that was set in an African country, so I enjoyed that too. There were a couple of twists that I might have seen coming had I read the book instead of listening to it but like many others have commented, the ending was a letdown. It was just an ending, not a resolution. I do hope that Brathwaite picks up some of the loose threads in her next novel, or retells it from the other sister's point of view.

Sisters are complicated

A simple but enjoyable read! Even though this book is short, you do feel you know the personality of the characters

This was a fun and unique novel. It really captured the love/hate sibling dynamic. I have to agree with other reviewers that while the narration was overall very good drama, it feels like the narrator didn't realize how funny much of the book was.

I loved the fast pace of this book. Finished in 1 day!! I loved the complexity of Ayoola and Korede's relationship. It makes you think, how far would you go for your siblings?

Fast and engrossing
