About this listen
A darkly comic short story of class divide, the lives we invent, and the very real risks of preserving an Insta-fame facade by the award-winning author of My Sister, the Serial Killer.
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.
Oyinkan Braithwaite’s Treasure is part of Hush, a collection of six stories, ranging from political mysteries to psychological thrillers, in which deception can be a matter of life and death. Each piece can be read or listened to in one truly chilling sitting.

Critic reviews
"With excellent pacing and the use of local dialects, Oduye brings the city of Lagos and these characters into sharp focus…the story’s ending is compelling and holds a few surprises." —AudioFile Magazine

Extraordinary
I would love this to be a novel - I am so invested in these characters, I feel like a need to know more; more before, during and after! Thank you - moving, beautiful, vivid and eye opening.

The narration matters so much
Like her previous book, the plot was already a page turner. We enjoy the authenticity of the narrator, the pidgin English used and vivid descriptions. another favourite for us. Thank you Oyinkan!

Gripped for 47 minutes
Have read other works by Oyinkan Braithwaite and she never disappoints. This tale feels like a 'Black Mirror' type tale but set in the real world. Very poignant in modern society. Worth the purchase

Good Read
This is the 2nd book by Oyinkan I'm reading. Story was predictable at some point but it's a decent read nonetheless. Absolutely loved it.
