FINLAY DONOVAN IS KILLING IT . . . except, she’s really not. 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.
When Finlay’s overheard discussing the plot of her new 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 . . . and she soon discovers that crime in real life is a lot more difficult than its fictional counterpart.
Dru’s Musing:
If you like slapstick comedy, a solid plot mystery, engaging dialogue and a humorous romp with an eclectic cast of characters, this is the book for you. From the start, this book captured my attention, and I could not put it down, quickly becoming a page-turner. A struggling writer in over her head propels this wonderfully entertaining tale of miscreants and unintentional mayhem as our protagonist tries to do the right thing but instead hilarity ensues. The writing was superb with a comfortable tone making it easy to follow along with what the author intended. The mystery was filled with excitement as I eagerly flip the pages in anticipation of what will happen next and the author did not disappoint. Everything you can imagine, happened and as the drama neared the finished line, the pacing escalated, and I couldn’t wait for the last word to be read. Bravo, a fantastic read.
