 Review: This book is hilarious. The characters are well developed and she had me guessing the whole story. This is the first in a series so I wonder if some of my suspicions will develop more in the following books. 

 

Synopsis: Finlay Donovan’s life is falling apart. After an awful morning, she meets with her agent at a local Panera to discuss the book she is supposed to be writing. A woman at a table nearby hears their conversation and based on what they are saying, she assumes Finlay is a contract killer. She leaves a note at Finlay’s table hiring her to murder her husband and shenanigans ensue.

This was a fun story overall, but I am always annoyed when otherwise intelligent characters have to be complete idiots to move the plot along. I will probably give the sequel a try when it comes out, though, because the characters and the premise were a lot of fun.
