Korede helps her sister Ayoola hide the traces of murder. Ayoola has killed three men she has dated. She claims she acted in self-defence each time. Korede cleans up each scene and does not call the police. Then Ayoola starts seeing the man Korede loves. Korede must keep him safe but not betray her sister.

This crime novel takes place in Nigeria. It blends dark humour with a tense tale. It suits readers who like tales of family ties and hard moral choices. Ayoola is beautiful and takes rash risks. Korede is plain and devoted to her sister. Their bond makes Korede weigh her love against the harm she helps hide.
