NOMINATED FOR THE 2019 BOOKER PRIZE WINNER OF THE LA TIMES BOOK PRIZE FOR MYSTERY/THRILLER FINALIST FOR THE 2019 WOMEN'S PRIZE Koredes sister Ayoola is many things: the favorite child, the beautiful one, possibly sociopathic. And now Ayoolas third boyfriend in a row is dead, stabbed through the heart with Ayoolas knife. Koredes practicality is the sisters saving grace. She knows the best solutions for cleaning blood (bleach, bleach, and more bleach), the best way to move a body (wrap it in sheets like a mummy), and she keeps Ayoola from posting pictures to Instagram when she should be mourning her missing boyfriend. Not that she gets any credit. Korede has long been in love with a kind, handsome doctor at the hospital where she works. She dreams of the day when he will realize that shes exactly what he needs. But when he asks Korede for Ayoolas phone number, she must reckon with what her sister has become and how far shes willing to go to protect her.
