Finlay Donovan Is Killing It: Finlay Donovan (Book 1)

Description

IT S MURDER BEING A HIT-MOM

Entertaining, funny and wholly original CULTUREFLY
Proves you only need to get mistaken once for a contract killer to solve all your problems LISA GARDNER

It is a widely known fact that most mums are ready to kill someone by eight-thirty AM on any given Monday. . .

Finlay Donovan, single mum and floundering crime writer, is having a hard time. Her ex-husband went behind her back to fire the nanny, and this morning she sent her four-year-old to school with hair duct-taped to her head after an unfortunate incident with scissors.

Making it to lunch with her literary agent is a minor victory but, as she s discussing the plot of her latest crime novel, the conversation is misinterpreted by a woman sitting nearby as that of a hit-woman offering her services to dispose of a problem husband.

And when the woman slips Finlay a name and a promise of a large sum of cash, Finlay finds herself plotting something much bigger than her novel.

And, after all, they do always say: write what you know. . .

When struggling crime writer Finlay Donovan takes on a life of crime normally reserved for her characters, she finds herself entangled in a real-life murder investigation. Witty and fast-paced, this murder mystery is perfect for fans of Abbi Waxman and Maria Semple.

Finlay Donovan really is killing it . . .

Funny and smart, twisty and surprising - Finlay Donovan is a character to root for. This suspenseful romp made me laugh but also kept me on the edge of my seat with its many surprises. I can t wait for the next book!
