Another great book! Finn is at it again in another addition of novelist/contract killer mom Finnley. I didn't rank this as high as the first book because it seemed a tad less messy and chaotic than the first. The appeal of the first to me was that Finn was a recently divorced mom of two struggling to make ends meet and write her book while fending off her cheating ex. The mystery of the hit and the mod seemed more organic and chaotic in thought. This book seemed to have the thoughts in boxes and every trail was followed like a practiced detective who had a lot of experience. Even with Finn and Vero basically solving several murders and getting a mod boss arrested, they're still just civilians who dabbled in contact hits. It was a tad disappointing but it's still a great read!

Finlay Donovan's life is such a tangled web! This second book in the series is a fast-moving murder-for-hire caper with fast cars and even faster men (I have no idea what I mean by that lol except that Julian and Nick have both fallen fast for Finn). Some suspension of disbelief is obviously required, but it was still entertaining and ultimately wrapped up nicely with a setup for book three. I would almost class it a "cozy thriller"—there's life-threatening action on-page, but the majority of the plot is Finn and Vero just living their complicated lives.
