This was a fun little book, with a killer title (see what I did there?). It tells the story of a pair of sisters, one of whom is a real looker and tends to kill her lovers, while the other is the older sister who is called in to clean up the mess. The older sister works as the head nurse in a hospital, with her eyes on a handsome single doctor, but when her sister begins to notice him, things get complicated in a hurry.

It is a very short book - 226 pages but even the hard cover is barely bigger than a paperback in dimensions. The story unfolds over just a few weeks but it is gloriously well written from the point of view of the older sister, who is both jealous and protective of her gorgeous younger sister, who lives a life completely at ease, while the older sister is torn by anxieties. It is set in Lagos, Nigeria, so a pretty exotic setting, even if it doesn't play too much in the story.

Plenty of descriptions of local food, dress and customs make for some work on the Internet. which was fun. And the story had both humor and pathos as it rolled right along. I really enjoyed it and would like to read more from Ms. Braithwaite. I just noticed that Kindle "Hush" book I currently have queued up, Treasure, is actually by her. I will have to get into that pronto!
