Oyinkan Braithwaite, My Sister, the Serial KillerRead about another entry on the list.
Protectiveness taken to homicidal extremes. Korede is a dutiful nurse whose beautiful younger sister Ayoola has a habit of killing her boyfriends—and calling Korede to clean up the mess (literally). When Ayoola sets her sights on the doctor Korede secretly loves, the sisters’ long-standing dynamic of loyalty, resentment, and shared culpability reaches a dangerous breaking point.
The novel explores what loyalty really costs—and how far one “good” sister will go to protect family, even when family is a monster.
