The set up for the story is in the title. Korede, our narrator, is called by her sister Ayoola to say that she's killed her boyfrinsd - again. This is number three that she's stabbed allegedly in self defence despite never haviong a mark on her.
Korede heads over as a good sister does and heps her dispose of the body - again.
Korede has a major crush on a handsome doctor at the hospital she works at. Things get complicated when Ayoola and Korede's beloved start dating. The clock is ticking. Is Ayoola going to strike a fourth time? Can Korede save the man she loves from her now clearly psychopathic sister without incriminating herself or Ayoola?
This was an incredibly quick and easy read. Very short chapters, efficiently written. Ayoola is a fantastic character, beautiful, totally shallow and self obsessed, and a bit too handy with her favourite knife. We completely understand Korede's reluctance to do anything to stop Ayoola's lethal habits, family secrets are revealed in a sequence of flashback chapters which explain the bond between the two women.
Funny and shocking in turns. This is highly recommended and I will be looking out for the next book by this new writer. an easy 7.5/10.
