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! I’m really looking forward to the next book!

Thank you to Minotaur Books/St. Martin’s Publishing Group for sending me an ARC of this title. I received this copy for free and this review contains my honest opinions.
Finlay Donovan is back at it again! I picked up Finlay Donovan Is Killing It because of this ARC. This series hadn't made it onto my radar yet, but I'm so glad I started it! I was delighted with how humorous, surprising, and entertaining the first book was. It’s amazing what Finlay and Vero can get up to (and tangled up in) without even really trying: it’s ridiculous (in the best kind of way).
This second book doesn’t hold the same level of charm I found in the first, but it’s still an entertaining story with many levels of twists that will keep you guessing until the end. I found this book to be much more serious and tense than the first, and I was hoping it would keep more with the lighthearted humor. According to the author’s website, this is planned to be a four book series and I’m hoping the lighthearted side returns for the third installment. Thank you again to the publisher for sending me a free ARC of this title.

Finlay is BACK 💕🔪
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.
