I really liked this, as long as I ignored the apparent lack of copy editing (continuity errors, misplaced Americanisms, grammatical mistakes that didn't seem to be related to the narrator's voice... why?! I've deducted points for being yanked out of immersion). Its intriguing premise developed into a thoughtful take on the nature of experience, memory, the media and potentially abusive relationships.

The emphasis in this quirky and engaging novella was really more on the "sister" aspect than the "serial killer" aspect. It's a very clever deconstruction of loyalty, relationships and the legacy of trauma - but still manages to be generally upbeat. I also liked the Lagos setting, the casual feminism and the microworld of the hospital. The plot (such as it was) could be confusing at times, and the resolution rather odd. But generally a good read!
