“Finlay Donovan is irresistible!”―Janet Evanovich

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.

Fast-paced, deliciously witty, and wholeheartedly authentic in depicting the frustrations and triumphs of motherhood in all its messiness, hilarity, and heartfelt moments, Finlay Donovan Is Killing It is the first in a brilliant new series from YA Edgar Award nominee Elle Cosimano.

This is a real quick and fun mystery/thriller. The story about Finlay and her involuntary involvement in the contract killing business is at first a little slow to pick up but a few chapters in I found it really fun and interesting to see how Finlay tries to be a good person but finds herself in more trouble along the way.   In my opinion the story is not a proper thriller for the most part but a funny light mystery, which I really enjoyed! It’s not only the cover that stands out! I could really picture this as a fun movie or even a series! I loved the dynamic between Finlay and Vero and am very curious about how Finlay‘s love life will continue in the second book. Currently have have a preference but will have to wait until I get to the second book! ✨ 4/5 stars ✨

From the first page on, no the first SENTENCE on, I already knew I was going to love this book. It was recommended by quite a few people on BookTube the past few weeks, and this book is 100% worth the hype. The plot intrigued me so much, and once I started it I couldn't put it down again, making me read this in 2 days, which is CRAZY considering I am still burdened by a reading slump atm. The main character is relatable and super lovable, and as the reader, I was really concerned for her throughout the whole book. The secondary characters were amazing too, some more so than others, but all of them really complemented the story and the development of our main character very well. Not going to lie, I thought I knew what was going on pretty early in the book, but it still managed to surprise me with the twists throughout the whole book. I am so glad to have found out that this will be turned into a series since I cannot wait for the other shenanigans Finlay will be up to in other books!

4 stars I enjoyed reading / listening to this so much! It's just such a fun book. The plot is a little over-the-top, but in a really fun way, that wasn't too much for me. Loved all the characters and their dynamics - Finlay & Vero + Finlay + Julian? Actually rooted for the love story in here, which is kind of rare for me. Looking forward to read book 2 soon!

This honestly so cheesy but I love it.
