    Brilliantly funny and refreshingly different from the usual run of crime novels
  

*by I***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 25 May 2020*

This is a funny novel and a short novel, two things that might make it very appealing to someone looking for a light and quick read. However, it has a darker side, and I’m not talking about the murders of (at least) three men. There are darker things than murders in this novel. In fact, it’s refreshing to have a young, attractive woman murdering men rather than the other way around.Did I say attractive? The narrator Korede (the plain sister) makes it clear that her younger sister Ayoola isn’t just attractive, she is sublimely beautiful and men – and women – are putty in her hands. In Half of a Yellow Sun we had the more beautiful sister as narrator, who cheats with her plainer sister’s man. Here the plainer sister is the narrator, doomed to remain an onlooker to her beautiful sister’s exciting life. Ayoola gets lots of bracelets, rings, flowers and trips to Dubai with adoring men. Korede gets lots of lip from her colleagues at the hospital where she works as a nurse.One disquieting feature of Ayoola’s beauty is her light skin and this is one of the things that makes the novel so disquieting. When it comes to female beauty, light skin is good and dark skin is unforgivably bad. Far more disturbing than murder is the way beauty determines a woman’s life, how she is perceived by others and her sense of self-worth. In this novel, insidiously, women aren’t just judged by men but by women as well. Ayoola has always been the mother’s favourite just because she is beautiful. And because Ayoola is beautiful, men brush past Korede in their haste to gaze on and worship her sister. The mother has given up any hope of Korede finding a husband but she has high hopes that Ayoola will catch a real good ‘un. At one hilarious point she serves a suitor a slice of upside down cake and when he says how delicious it is, she hurriedly points out that Ayoola baked it (great wife material). Meanwhile, Korede tells us that Ayoola couldn’t fry an egg and only ever goes in the kitchen to forage for snacks.Another disturbing feature of the novel is the role of patriarchy in squeezing women into a limited set of life chances and behaviours. Looming over Ayoola’s murders and the relationship between the sisters and their mother is the ghost of their long-dead tyrant of a father. In fact, during the novel, at the insistence of their aunt, the two sisters and their mother put on a tenth anniversary memorial service for the old beast. Then we learn that the aunt was involved in a plot by the father to gift the 14 year old Ayoola to some crusty old tribal chieftain in return for a lucrative business deal.However, we are not asked to believe that some childhood trauma can explain or justify Ayoola’s habit of killing her boyfriends. We are given a rather conventional correlation between beauty and narcissism, but this novel takes it further. Ayoola believes that everything will turn out well for her, no matter what she does. She can shape her own history and destiny. Nothing bad can possibly happen to her. And one reason for her optimism is that she knows that big sister has her back. After she’s done the deed, Korede will turn up with rubber gloves and bleach and clean up the mess. Literally.Some readers might find the ending annoying or frustrating. I found it tremendously satisfying. Suffice to say, sisters stick together.I do have one minor gripe about this book: for some mystifying reason it’s written in American. The author has spent part of her life in the UK, including secondary school and university, and has been back in Nigeria since 2012, so I can’t understand why she used US spelling, grammar and vocabulary. My son-in-law is Nigerian. Several members of my family are married to Nigerians and I have many Nigerian friends and colleagues. None of them speaks American. Half of a Yellow Sun is written in American but I can just about forgive that because Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has been living in the US for years, but Oyinkan Braithwaite has no such excuse. I can only surmise that her American editor persuaded her that sales in the US would benefit.

    Interesting and Vibrant read
  

*by C***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 20 August 2020*

My Sister, the Serial Killer makes for a fascinating read. This is the story of 2 sisters, sensible Korede and stunningly beautiful Ayoola. Ayoola has a slight problem in that, well, she kills her boyfriends. And then relies on Korede to clean up her mess, which Korede has done every time she has been called on. Whilst Korede juggles a normal life as a nurse, she is horrified to discover that Ayoola has her sights set firmly on a Doctor at the hospital who Korede just happens to have a crush on. Can she save him? and will she have to choose between her sister or her love?This is a seriously dark and twisted novel. The writing is great and Korede's voice is wonderfully concise. She seems to accept that this is the way Ayoola is, with a resigned sigh and not question her behaviour at all. Ayoola is fascinating , she has no filter, appears relatively unconcerned by the men she has killed and has no compunction about using her own family to get what she wants. And they all pander to this, not minding a jot if she can't cook and is untidy as her mother and sister will always clean up after her. There is never any explanation as to why she kills, it is treated in the same way as someone who buys far too many shoes.Korede is equally fascinating. On the outside she appears capable and accepting, but little clues are given that all is not well. She cleans obsessively (always handy when removing all traces of blood from a room). Her only friend is Muhtar, a man in a coma whom she pours her heart out to telling him all about her sister. I loved the relationship between Korede and Muhtar and if I'm honest, would have loved this exploring a little more. Both give each other strength and I loved Muhtar's gentility.I'm not sure if I was in a place of over-thinking, but I became obsessed with finding a twist. There isn't one. It is just a book about 2 sisters, one of whom just happens to kill men. I'm so pleased I read this, it is dark and full of humour, a very interesting and vibrant read.

    Bizarrely relatable sibling relationship
  

*by R***F on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 10 June 2022*

Oyinkan Braithwaite's My Sister, the Serial Killer, is a surprisingly relatable dark comedy about two sisters: one a nurse, the other a serial killer.Korede, the nurse, has a problem with her sister, Ayoola. It's a familiar problem, really. Ayoola is beautiful, popular, vane, and selfish. Korede, ever the willing older sister, is always going above and beyond to help her. Ayoola is completely ungrateful, and more than that has those around them convinced that Korede is too harsh on her, not helpful enough.Beautiful people can get away with such things, as we learn throughout the novel. People are always willing to believe her, willing to see the best in her, even when it makes no sense.The difference here, of course, is that Ayoola isn't just a vane sister who has mistaken a social media following for an endorsement of every decision she makes. She's also a killer who keeps murdering her boyfriends.At the books opening, we join Korede as she does what she has become accustomed to doing, which is cleaning up the evidence of Ayoola's murders. Her skills as a nurse come in handy, but when her sister starts dating the doctor from the hospital that Korede liked herself, things get more complicated.The bizarrely relatable sibling relationship makes this book an entertaining read. The comedy is very real, even if the subject matter is grim at the best of times. The drama and the depth, however, is also strong, not something you can always say of this kind of book. The interludes where the reader gets a look at the sisters' controlling, unfaithful father are compelling and add genuine context to the story as it unfolds. The tension genuinely builds throughout the book, without undermining the tragicomedy of the whole.This is a story that deserves its popularity, and lives up to the eye-catching title. Highly recommended.
