Oyinkan Braithwaite’s standalone novels are My Sister, the Serial Killer (2017) and Cursed Daughters (2025). Her debut follows Korede, a dutiful older sister in Lagos who helps her younger sister Ayoola dispose of the bodies of her dead boyfriends. The novel blends dark comedy with genuine tension as Korede begins to question her loyalty when Ayoola starts dating a doctor that Korede has feelings for.
Cursed Daughters (2025) is Braithwaite’s second novel, continuing her focus on family relationships with a darker, possibly supernatural edge. Both books share Braithwaite’s distinctive voice: clipped prose, dry humor, and stories about women navigating impossible situations within their families.
