This was such a different look at the mystery novel. What did you like about it that was different and how did Finlay’s adjacent involvement in murder make you feel about her character? Yes, romantic comedy/murder mystery is now a trope! And no one does it better than the single mom/writer/contract killer Finlay Donovan. With her resourceful accomplice a.k.a nanny, she finds herself to investigate a real life crimes: a contract killer out there and Finlay is so close to solve it with her unconventional approach. I loved Vero and Finlay they had a good banter that kept the crime plotline light when it would otherwise be too dark for me to enjoy.

Okay, so this is what I had to contend with going into this one. I can’t help it if I’m overanalytical, I really can’t. You can tell I became obsessed! I couldn’t help but run through the logistics and appearance. I kept thinking I must be too dumb to figure it out—that in our universe, duct tape and hair somehow go together. (Please chime in if I’m blind to the obvious. Is this some common practice and I just didn’t get the mom memo on it?) My agent was already on a train from Grand Central to Union Station, where I was supposed to meet her for a brunch reservation at a restaurant I couldn’t afford so we could discuss exactly how overdue I was on my deadline for a book I had started three times and probably would never finish because … Jesus, look around me. Reasons.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. I loved the relationship between Finlay and Vero. Vero not only loved her children, but she swooped in to help Finlay in her time of need. Anyone who would help you bury a body is a good friend-ha!

Not a great way to start the day. As single-moms are known to do, however, Finlay figures it out, all whilst barely holding herself together on the inside. This is a fun, comedic mystery! I laughed throughout, and also had major anxiety throughout as Finlay got herself into deeper waters from one ridiculous situation to the next. The story isn’t completely realistic, but it’s always entertaining. If you enjoy likable and well-developed leads, a bit of murder, a little romantic tension, and some laughs...then I recommend this book. The ending has a major OMG moment, and I will be (im)patiently waiting for a sequel. Y’all the Nanny WAS MY FAVORITE. I couldn’t get over her!!! I loved their supportive and sweet relationship… even if it was a little twisted, ha!!

Finlay Donovan Is Killing It by Elle Cosimano – My Review

I loved it SO MUCH. This is a fun murder/mystery/comedy about a writer named Finlay Donovan who is discussing the plot of her next murder mystery novel in a Panera Bread with her agent when a woman overhears her conversation and thinks she’s actually a contract killer and offers her a huge amount of money to kill her husband. 🤯 Finlay and Vero try to figure out what’s going on with Theresa. They investigate her friend, Aimee, and they find some connection to Feliks. My relationship with Panera was complicated. I liked their soup. Panera didn’t like that I’d poured it over another customer’s head. In my defense, Theresa had started it when she’d attempted to justify her reasons for sleeping with my husband.Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for sending me an ARC of Finlay Donovan Is Killing It in exchange for an honest review.
