I love it when sequels are even better than the first book, and this is very much the case here (I did love #1 though!). And I was psyched to discover Cosimano has plans for (at least) 2 more in this series. I can't wait to get my hands on #3 when it's out.
Cosimano has weaved such a fun, tense, and compelling story - as a mother I connected with Finlay instantly in #1 and have only grown to relate to her more (aside from all this murder business, ha). I love the choices Cosimano has made and can't wait to continue on this journey with Finlay, Vero, Georgia, Nick, Julian, and I guess I'm even starting to tolerate Steven (ha).

I absolutely loved FINLAY DONOVAN IS KILLING IS and was super excited to read this sequel!
I really enjoyed this book! It was just as good as the first one!
It is so chaotic and witty - a really fun read!
That ending though! Iām really looking forward to the next book!

Finlay is BACK ššŖ
If you liked FINLAY DONOVAN IS KILLING IT, you will also enjoy FINLAY DONOVAN KNOCKS EM DEAD, out Feb 1, 2022. Thank you for my copy, Minotaur Books!
The sequel opens a month after the first book ends. Finlay is once again behind on writing her book because she's spending all her time trying to figure out who put a hit out on her ex-husband. It's a race against time as she and Vero try to stop his murder (and figure out if Finlay should date sexy almost-lawyer Julian, or hot cop Nick).
This book is more of the same (in a good way!): disguises, dead bodies, completely unbelievable plots that you just have to go with. I would say it wasn't as "unputdownable" as the first Finlay, but I still really enjoyed it. I also wish I had reread the first book before I read the second, because I forgot a lot of the details, and there isn't much recapping in this one.
