"Getting the job done" takes on a whole new meaning for one single mom in Finlay Donovan is Killing It, kicking off the beloved, hilarious and heartfelt Finlay Donovan series.
"Finlay Donovan is irresistible!"-Janet Evanovich
"This series is magical!"-Christina Lauren
"The perfect blend of mystery and rom-com."-Ali Hazelwood
Most moms are ready to kill someone by 8.30 a.m. on any given morning . . .
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 the brilliant and beloved Finlay Donovan series from New York Times bestseller and Edgar Award nominee Elle Cosimano.

Perfekt für Fans von schwarzem Humor und starken Protagonistinnen.
Finlay Donovan Is Killing It ist clever, witzig und hat genau die richtige Dosis Spannung. Ein unterhaltsames Lesevergnügen, das mehr durch Charme als durch Grusel überzeugt - perfekt für Fans von schwarzem Humor und starken Protagonistinnen.
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 ✨

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!
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!
So in a post-apocalyptic type of world, the humans have been overthrown by the Orcs. They were treated badly by the Orcs who invaded their world and most are now living in camps, run by Orcs. Our main girl, Kari lives in one of those camps, or more like she survives. She's adopted a mixed human-Orc baby a few years ago and is now raising him. This is what lands her in a bit of a situation when her son is taken from her and she's asked to chose a father for him from a lineup of Orcs. What ends up happening is that she actually chose a mate for herself along with a dad for her son. I think this is the worst summary I've ever written and doesn't do the plot justice at all. I'm sorry. This was genuinely a good book, the plot was interesting, rooted in processing and coping with trauma. Kari went though a lot and yet stayed generous enough to adopt another woman's baby and then she was resilient enough to deal with everything that goes on in this book. I really liked her. I also loved all the interactions with the children and the secondary characters. I thought Bear was very sweet and he really worked hard to earn Kari's love and he did. Things weren't perfect but things did happen and I saw a lot of people say they didn't see the chemestry between the 2 but I disagree. I recommend if you like alien romance and if mentions of sexual assaults don't bother you. I'll probably be reading the sister novel in the future
