challenging dark tense medium-paced

I took a while to get into it but about midway through the excitement ramped up. 

It was really good to experience more diversity of life in Nigeria - and, surely, the serial killing is somewhat atypical!

The thread from upbringing to how Ayoola and Korede behave and interact was interesting, but sad, to unravel.

I would have loved this in theory, but reading it I was very underwhelmed and it just couldn't hook me. I really appreciated the shorter length, though, and I think it would be perfect for the right reader.

This is an excellent example of enmeshment if I’ve ever seen one. Many people think only sons and mothers can be enmeshed but…they’re wrong. The characters are infuriating and there is a twist I wasn’t  expecting. I have mixed feelings.
