Was this realistic at all? No. Was Finlay the luckiest woman alive for how everything worked out? You bet! But omg it was so fun. I loved it

I really enjoyed Finlay Donovan is Killing It! It is lighthearted, while also writing about and solving murders!

Finlay Donovan is trying to make it as a mystery romance writer while keeping her family afloat. With bills piling up, an ex husband fighting for custody and a book deadline long past due, Finlay has a lot to figure out. The book's tone reminded me a little of Lisa Lutz's the Spellman files and the plot is like a modern Murder She Wrote.

I love how the first book ended, pretty self contained, leaving itself open for more to come! I can't wait to read more of these characters. This is going to make for the perfect summer.

(Thanks to St Martin’s Press and NetGalley for the digital copy!)
