About the book

In development to be a major TV series, adapted by Tina Fey and Lang Fisher

'I couldn't put it down!' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
'I can't describe how much I loved this book' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

'I adore everything about it . . . the perfect blend of mystery and romcom' ALI HAZELWOOD

Single mum and struggling crime writer Finlay Donovan is ready to kill someone by 7.45AM:
- Her two-year-old is slathered in maple syrup
- Her four-year-old has a new self-inflicted haircut
- Her TOTALLY VINDICTIVE ex-husband has fired the nanny without warning

But nothing is going to stop her from making it to lunch with her literary agent.
Not even being banned from the restaurant they're meeting at.

When the discussion about Finlay's latest crime novel is misinterpreted by a woman sitting nearby as the plans of a hit-woman offering up her services, Finlay is finally promised the large sum of cash she's always hoped for. Just not for her writing.

For this, she'll need to plot something much bigger than her novel.

They do always say: write what you know. . .

Murder, mayhem and - maybe - a touch of romance, the warm, hilarious and instantly-lovable Finlay Donovan series is perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Dial A for Aunties and Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series.

    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 ✨
