Acerca de esta escucha

Nominated for the Booker Prize 2019.

Shortlisted for the 2019 Women’s Prize for Fiction.

Korede is bitter. How could she not be? Her sister, Ayoola, is many things: the favourite 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 realise 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.

I enjoyed the story, the narrator and the story. I have never read/listened to this kind of genre set in Africa which was really cool and refreshing!

Unique and captvating

Of course the most captivating part of this story is the relationship between sisters; one murderous, the other somewhat innocent but I really enjoyed the look into Nigerian life alongside all of this - the commentary on class, religion, cuisine, fashion, work etc. Wonderful book

A wonderful look into Nigerian life

When the Dr said you’re worse than her (Ayoola), that was it for me. Understanding that by helping to clean up she got her hands dirty. I actually enjoyed this book it was easy to follow.

More than a favour

Decently written. Interesting premise. Not especially believable. Well narrated. Very god for a 5 hour car ride. My main disappointment was that the socio-cultural background didn't figure more prominently.

A bit o a stretch--but entertaining

Once I started listening, I didn’t stop. It’s very entertaining and not so unrealistic that it couldn’t be real. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s also very well read.

My Sister, the Serial Killer is set in present day Lagos, painting a background of an ordinary hardworking woman, living an ordinary middle class life.

The plot however is not ordinary, and delivers everything the title promises (there is a sister and she is a serial killer). The writing is sharp and entertaining with interesting characters. The pacing is brisk, with exposition flowing naturally into the main tale. Together, all this makes for the kind of book that is easy to get lost in and finish in one sitting.

Weruche Opia's narration felt very natural and easy to listen to. However, there were moments where probably different takes were used, and there was a marked difference in vocal quality which would momentarily pull me out of the story. However, the story kept drawing me back in.

Would recommend for anyone who wants an African story that is not the usual "village girl/boy moves to city and learns a lesson" narrative.

Quicky and Enjoyable

Good narrative, and story line. Easy listening. Some local words, could have been described better.
