This was a fun read, but it took a while to get into. I think I just spent the first little bit so frustrated with Finlay that it was hard to get into, but as things progressed, I started to like her more. The plot itself was way over the top and there are still things that don't make a whole lot of sense to me, but I'll be honest that the ending was surprising enough that I'll keep reading the series.

I really liked the overall story. It was clever and funny in a “single mom gets mixed up with the mob” kind of way. However, I just could not get over how frequently the main character made the worst decisions. Every chapter. I both wanted to be done with the book and had to take long breaks because I found the main character so frustrating. But I give it 3.5 stars because the overall story was enjoyable.

Fun mystery with vibes of murder she wrote.  The sheer dumb luck is unbelievable but a ton a fun.  Its a quick read and would be great beach read or readathon book.  I loved the witty banter and the interactions between Finlay and the bartender and Finlay and Vero.
