Titles in This Set:
My Sister, the Serial Killer
How to Kill Your Family

Condition: BRAND NEW
Format: Paperback

Overview:
Two razor-sharp thrillers worthy of a weekend binge are gathered in this dynamic two-book collection. My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite delivers a wickedly dark, witty portrait of sisterhood, loyalty, and danger—where incestuous bonds clash with brutal truths as Ayoola’s latest boyfriend meets an untimely end. Korede’s calm, practical sensibility becomes the counterweight to chaos, offering a narrator you’ll root for even as you question what you’d do in her shoes. In How to Kill Your Family, Bella Mackie delivers a gleefully audacious satirical thriller about a young woman’s mission to unmask a powerful clan and seek revenge in even more entertainingly clever ways. Together, these two books form a compelling, bite-sized cross-genre pairing: sharp social commentary wrapped in suspenseful, propulsive plotting. This paperback duo is ideal for readers craving provocative female'‑led crime, fast pace, and a dash of dark humour, all wrapped in stylish, dependable page-turners.

What Makes This Collection Special:
This set pools two distinct yet thematically linked voices that revel in the unexpected. Braithwaite’s comic noir exposes the fragility of family ties and the moral compromises we make for love and loyalty, while Mackie’s high-velocity thriller plays with the conventions of the genre to lampoon power, privilege, and the lengths someone will go to for revenge. The pairing showcases how contemporary crime can be both deeply human and wickedly entertaining, with vivid protagonists who stay with you long after the final page. It’s a fantastic gift for readers who want literary flair, social bite, and punchy, contemporary storytelling in one smart, collectible package.

Books Included in This Collection:
My Sister, the Serial Killer
Korede’s sister Ayoola is the favourite child, the dazzlingly attractive one, and possibly sociopathic. When Ayoola’s latest boyfriend dies under suspicious circumstances, Korede’s practical, no-nonsense instincts come to the fore as she navigates the delicate balance between sisterly loyalty and the grim reality of Ayoola’s “romantic misfortunes.” Braithwaite’s lean, piercing prose blends dark humour with claustrophobic tension, delivering a swift, unforgettable read about family, guilt, and the price of protecting those we love.

How to Kill Your Family
Grace Bernard believes in justice—and in bending the rules to achieve it. After a lifetime of feeling unseen and wronged, she sets out on a chilling, meticulously planned path to dismantle a powerful clan she holds responsible for her past. Mackie’s novel crackles with wit, audacious plotting, and a counterintuitive charm as Grace’s mission unfolds through sharp, stylish narration. It’s a suspenseful, morally provocative exploration of revenge, identity, and the brutal edges of family loyalty, all delivered with a sly sense of humour and a fearless voice.

Who This Set Is Perfect For:
This collection is tailor-made for readers who love edge-of-your-seat thrillers with strong, complex heroines, moral ambiguity, and darkly comic moments. Perfect for fans of contemporary crime that leans into social commentary, readers seeking introspective family drama, and anyone who enjoys a brisk, highly entertaining read. It also works beautifully for book clubs curious about gender dynamics, power, and the limits of loyalty. If you’re seeking two smart, culturally resonant voices in one value-packed package, this set hits the mark.
