Maybe it is because there is so much corruption that goes on in every strata of society in Lagos and that is the perfect environment for all sorts of good bad incidents to unfold. What makes the scene in Lagos so conducive to crafting crime fiction? Your book is one of many incredibly inventive crime books coming out of the Nigerian literary scene. What did you want readers to take away when it comes to the nature of inner versus outer beauty? The two sisters at the center of your story are pitted against each other by a society that privileges the more conventionally beautiful sister over her stalwart sibling. Thankfully, all my siblings appear to have enjoyed the novel. She went on to make a convincing argument that of the three of us girls, she was in fact the least likely to commit said crimes, and I think that she is right. But it wasn’t long before her tune changed-she did not find it as entertaining that, when asked which of my sisters was the Serial Killer, those who knew us a little, guessed that it was her. At first one of my sisters liked to tell people that she was the inspiration for the novel. Then I became fascinated with examining the age old debate of nature vs nurture and the different responses to trauma within the family.Īnd while we’re talking about sisters-do you have one? And, if so, what did she think of the novel?
