Finlay and Vero are awesome! The recently divorced mom of two kids who writes mystery novels becoming a mystery novel was a fantastic choice. Not only was it not cliche but every choice was something I could realistically see an average citizen doing, especially one with Finn's connections to both the police and murder. The romance was more of a sideplot which I actually appreciated in this book! I am super excited for the next one and can't wait to see where the story goes!

Super unrealistic but still a fun read. It took a little while for me to get into, which seems to have been happening lately so that might just be a me thing, but once I hit the second half, I couldn’t put the book down. I liked that it was different than any other book I have read and, although she annoyed me a lot at first, I really did grow to love Finlay by the end. If you can get past the ridiculousness of the storyline and take it for what it is, you will have a good time with this one.
