review of finlay donovan is killing it ~elle cosimano


 

my musings


welcome book lovers

Finlay Donovan is killing it . . . except, she’s really not. She’s a stressed-out single-mom of two and struggling novelist, Finlay’s life is in chaos: the new book she promised her literary agent isn’t written, her ex-husband fired the nanny without telling her, and this morning she had to send her four-year-old to school with hair duct-taped to her head after an incident with scissors.


When Finlay is overheard discussing the plot of her new suspense novel with her agent over lunch, she’s mistaken for a contract killer, and inadvertently accepts an offer to dispose of a problem husband in order to make ends meet . . . Soon, Finlay discovers that crime in real life is a lot more difficult than its fictional counterpart, as she becomes tangled in a real-life murder investigation.


This book! That title and the cover go together perfectly!

That said, I really loved this snarky mystery. It has just the right amount of everything I look for in a mystery!

I found Cosimano's writing style to be well written, fast paced, and FUN! 

I also found this book to be over the top in the best possible way and Finlay is freaking amazing!

Seriously, if you are looking for a fresh character and mystery you can't go wrong. 

The ending wraps up nicely and I look forward to more books in this series (hooray!)
