A stiletto slipped between the ribs and through the left ventricle of the heart' Financial Times When Korede's dinner is interrupted one night by a distress call from her sister, Ayoola, she knows what's expected of her: bleach, rubber gloves, nerves of steel and a strong stomach. This'll be the third boyfriend Ayoola's dispatched in, quote, self-defence and the third mess that her lethal little sibling has left Korede to clear away. She should probably go to the police for the good of the menfolk of Nigeria, but she loves her sister and, as they say, family always comes first. Until, that is, Ayoola starts dating the doctor where Korede works as a nurse. Korede's long been in love with him, and isn't prepared to see him wind up with a knife in his back: but to save one would mean sacrificing the other...

“I was waiting for something.... But it just didn't come. This was an ok book, a very quick read, just not what I was hoping for”
“Kinda like 27 Dresses, but with murder: always a murder cleaner-upper, never a murderer, and usually begrudgingly. It's a well-written story, and I loved the voices the audiobook reader does. But these characters all behave predictably and barely have character arcs, only reaching small ones…”
