My Sister the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite.
Read it over 2 evenings. A really interesting insight into life in Nigeria, fast paced, a real page turner. I've just requested her other books from the library.
Just thought it may be helpful to anyone stuck in a reading rut.

Listened to a podcast about it on BBC Sounds and definitely one I’d like to read

My DP briefly ran a reading group at the local secondary school and picked this one. The kids loved it - one claimed to have read it five times!

I’ve read this, it was peculiar

Oh, someone recommended this to me recently, and then the name promptly went completely out my head. Commenting so I remember to add it to my to read list!

I loved that book. For anyone who prefers to listen on Audible, the narration is great too.

She’s just published her next book, Cursed Daughters, it’s great too!

I'm glad you say it's great, I'm collecting it later today from the library, can't wait to get stuck in.

Ooh! You’ve made my day. Thanks!

Ah! I found this in a charity shop just last week and it's sat waiting on my (ever increasing) "to read" shelf!
Looking forward to it even more now!

Ah, yes, that's a wonderful read. By coincidence I've just returned it to the library after re-reading it recently. Haven't tried anything else by her yet.
