Finlay Donovan Is Killing It By Elle Cosimano
| Author: Rachael Elliott-Brug, Reading Leaves Rachael Brug: MT43 News Vice President and Copy Editor |
Finlay Donovan is more or less your average American woman.
She is single, raising two young children, is a struggling novelist, and has a strained relationship with her ex-husband and his new fiancee. So strained in fact, that she's been kicked out of Panera for dumping a bowl of soup on that woman's head!
Of course this is where the story gets good. Finlay is meeting with her book agent about her next (late) suspense novel at this same Panera (in disguise of course) when they are overheard talking. The eavesdropper, convinced Finlay is a hit-woman, hires her to take out her problematic husband. $50K will really help make those ends meet.
With help from her secretive, and sarcastic nanny, Vero, Finlay must now navigate the underground world of mobsters while living the everyday chaos of motherhood. She even winds up in the middle of a murder investigation.
Full of wit and twists, Finlay Donovan is Killing it is a laugh-out-loud mystery. Part suspense and part comedy of errors, Elle Cosimano has created the beginning of a wonderful series with this cast of characters.
The sequel, Finlay Donovan Knocks them Dead, is out now with a third book coming soon, giving you more Finlay to look forward to!
