![]() Oyinkan Braithwaite: The power dynamic between the sisters, between the father and his children, between husband and wife, developed somewhat organically as I fleshed the story out. What did you want to explore about family power dynamics in your novel? It is also a much more universal story about sibling dynamics, and how in many a household, one sister ends up doing all the work-and cleaning up all the messes-while the other, more beautiful sister, has fun. Molly Odintz: My Sister the Serial Killer is, on one hand, a not-so-universal story about a woman who ends up helping her sister cover up a string of murders. Oyinkan was kind enough to answers some questions via email about writing, sisterhood, and Lagos. My Sister, The Serial Killer, is exactly what you think it is-a dark comedy about a practical, put-upon nurse whose romantic intentions towards a doctor in her hospital are interrupted by her beautiful sister’s addiction to murdering paramours. Braithwaite has a background in poetry, and with all the crime-writing poets out there, it should be no surprise she chose to write her first novel in the crime genre. ![]() ![]() Oyinkan Braithwaite’s My Sister the Serial Killer was last year’s breakout debut, the ultra-cool cover a perfect match for the book’s droll contents. ![]()
