Who would LOVE My Sister, the Serial Killer I think anyone who loves getting into the minds of others and creating their own story of how the character became to be as they are. Quick Synopsis We meet two sister in this story. Ayoola, the apple of everyone's eye. Korede, forever the martyr and her sisters keeper. One of them is a serial killer. In this story we get a very small glimpse into the mind of a femme fatale.Thoughts I wish the author would have really delved into the effects of the abuse by the father on Ayoola's psyche. We get a glimpse into why, Korede feels overlooked. It's because no one in her life, truly sees her or knows her inner thoughts, save one comatose patient. We truly don't know why, Ayoola is the way she? Why does her mind function, the way it does? Why does she prey on men? Did the incident with the chief cause her to despise men who have no depth, who only sees her beauty? It seemed, Ayoola was on a quest to prove that men are shallow creatures, who only want a trophy, not an actual person. Why did Korede, as a health professional not get her sister help after she committed the second killing? Why such blind loyalty to always protecting her sister? I realize the resignation to protecting her youngest sibling, at all cost could be cultural. But why did she throw away her own moral compass? The author has left me with so many questions. Overall, I enjoyed this novel.
