What a storyteller Yemi Dipeolu is... I was hooked from the start! She is a master at creating suspense and mystery! The twists didn’t stop coming!

I was gripped from onset and the tension was excellent! This is psychological crime writing at its very best.

It was a dark, well-plotted thriller and intriguing! All the characters are well-fleshed and it was truly unputdownable Can’t wait for the next book by this author!

Kiss Marry Kill is undeniably a fast-paced thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat until the last page. Our main character, Ife, has just married her childhood friend, Ade, but their wedding day is overshadowed by news of Cynthia’s murder - Ade’s ex-girlfriend who went missing weeks ago. As the mystery of Cynthia’s death unravels, secrets are unveiled and relationships are put to the test.

What I loved:
- The story falls into a dual POV rhythm, back and forth between Cynthia and Ife. This not only serves to bring the mystery to life, but it creates this atmosphere of uncertainty - never fully knowing who to trust as the two women’s lives become dangerously intertwined.
- Hats off to any writer who can surprise me with an unexpected twist! Dipeolu brilliantly laid the groundwork for a jaw-dropping reveal right at the very end that had me questioning everything.

What lacked for me:
- A small thing, but I would have liked a clearer timeline of events. Actual dates in the chapter headings, alongside the countdown to the murder, would have helped me get a better picture of Ife and Ade’s relationship timeline in addition to the timeline for Cynthia’s death.

Overall, this debut pleasantly surprised me. I love to read a quick thriller in between other longer reads and the short chapters and fast pace of this story was perfect for picking up and binge-reading. Would recommend for anyone wanting a quick, twisty murder mystery to binge in a day.

Thank you to Yemi Dipeolu, Faber & Faber and NetGalley for sharing this ARC with me in exchange for my honest review, I am grateful for the opportunity to share my thoughts and look forward to this book’s release on the 23rd April 2026.
