For listeners of Oyinkan Braithwaite's My Sister the Serial Killer and Bella Mackie's How to Kill Your Family , this is a monstrous, gleeful, bitingly funny tale of murder, body-swapping, and bloody vengeance from the recipient of the Bram Stoker Award for Lifetime Achievement and "Queen of African Horror". Betrayed by the men in their lives, two women seethe with rage and bitterness. When a trickster spirit offers them the gift of revenge, they cannot resist. Chia runs one of the best restaurants in Abuja, Nigeria, and is renowned among the male clientele for her captivating beauty and delicious hot pepper soup. But her hot pepper soup has a secret ingredient, and her beauty is not what it seems. Claire is a fifty-year-old British woman living in Abuja with her young Nigerian boyfriend and his beautiful cousin, Shadé. Consumed by jealousy and resentment, Claire's carefully organized life spirals into chaos after a night out at Chia's infamous restaurant.
