Korede's sister is officially a serial killer. And? Yeah, there wasn't much to this story. Not much character development and the ending wasn't great. 

However, the story is set in Lagos so the reader definitely gets a feel for the culture. Everything from gender roles, food, socio-economics, government corruption, death customs, etc. I did enjoy this aspect of the novel.

I really loved the writing style of this book. The short chapters make it go by very quickly too! It was a fun read and even though I don't typically go for thrillers I enjoyed it.

3.5

Oikeastaan kirja oli viihdyttävä lukea, mutta niin nopea ja lyhyt, etten ehtinyt oikein muodostaa tunnesidettä hahmoihin, joten lukemisen jälkeen tuntuu lähinnä vähän tyhjältä.

Vetävä kirja kyllä on ja sisarusten väliset tunteet ja salaisuudet hienosti kuvattuja.
