Dr. Margaret Richter has it all. She’s rich, thanks to her best-selling self-help books. She has a beautiful home in Cape Cod overlooking the beach. And she has a monthly book club that everyone is dying to get invited to. Literally. Because behind the crystal wine glasses, the fine linens and the catered hors d'oeuvres lies a tangled web of secrets, of deceit, of murder. No member of the book club is innocent—and many are guilty. And the person with the most to hide is Margaret Richter herself.

Korede is bitter. How could she not be? Her sister, Ayoola, is many things: the favorite child, the beautiful one, possibly sociopathic. And now Ayoola’s third boyfriend in a row is dead. Korede’s practicality is the sisters’ saving grace. She knows the best solutions for cleaning blood, the trunk of her car is big enough for a body, and she keeps Ayoola from posting pictures of her dinner to Instagram when she should be mourning her “missing” boyfriend. Not that she gets any credit. Korede has long been in love with a kind, handsome doctor at the hospital where she works.

Treasure is a wannabe Instagram influencer in Lagos, Nigeria. She shows off a luxurious life in a gated community that her almost five thousand followers can only dream of. @Sho4Sure is determined to be part of it. The macho mechanic is Treasure’s number one fan, and double taps and blushing emojis are no longer enough. He needs to meet her in the flesh. If only Treasure were more prepared for destiny.

Quando una sera Korede riceve una telefonata della sorella sa già, purtroppo, cosa Ayoola si aspetta da lei: candeggina, guanti di gomma, nervi d'acciaio e stomaco forte. Questo è il terzo fidanzato che Ayoola uccide per autodifesa - dice lei - e la terza scena del crimine che le chiede di pulire. Korede dovrebbe andare dalla polizia ma vuole troppo bene alla sorellina, e la famiglia viene prima di tutto. Almeno finché Ayoola, la figlia prediletta e bellissima di cui tutti si innamorano, non inizia a frequentare il dottore con il quale Korede lavora e di cui è innamorata.

Korede ist verbittert. Und wie sollte sie auch nicht? Ihre Schwester Ayoola ist das Lieblingskind, die Schöne - und wahrscheinlich psychopathisch. Und jetzt ist schon ihr dritter Freund nacheinander tot. Koredes praktische Veranlagung rettet ihre Schwester. Sie kennt die besten Tricks, um Blut zu entfernen, ihr Kofferraum ist groß genug für eine Leiche, und sie weist ihre Schwester darauf hin, dass man keine fröhlichen Bilder auf Instagram posten sollte, während man eigentlich gerade trauert. Aber Anerkennung bekommt sie dafür nicht.

When Ebun gives birth to her daughter, Eniiyi, on the day they bury her cousin Monife, there is no denying the startling resemblance between the child and the dead woman. So begins the belief, fostered and fanned by the entire family, that Eniiyi is the actual reincarnation of Monife, fated to follow in her footsteps in all ways, including that tragic end. There is also the matter of the family curse: “No man will call your house his home. And if they try, they will not have peace...” which has been handed down from generation to generation.
