Сестра ми, сериен убиец

Nominated for the prestigious Booker Prize, the novel "My Sister, the Serial Killer" is a black comedy with a crime plot. The brilliant interweaving of the comic and the tragic turns the debut thriller of the Nigerian writer Oyinkan Braithwaite (1988) into a true literary masterpiece.

When a phone call interrupts her dinner, Korede knows what is expected of her: a pair of rubber gloves, a tube of bleach, a strong stomach and nerves of steel. Her sister Ayoola has just stabbed one of her boyfriends again, and Korede again has to clean up the crime scene... "I did it in self-defense" is the standard explanation of the female doer, but the truth is a little different. For Korede, however, there is no other option – she loves the beautiful and spoiled Ayoola, family has always come first for her. Or so she thinks, until the doctor she is in love with in turn falls in love... with the younger of the two sisters. And this time Korede, who is anyway torn apart by jealousy, has to choose which of the two to protect.
