bellebookcorner 's review for:
Finlay Donovan Is Killing It
by Elle Cosimano
I think this is the first time that I read a murder mystery novel while laughing. The first time I read the synopsis I don't think or have any expectation that this book is going to be funny at all. Usually this kind of book filled with tensions, questions and a lot of twists which leaves me surprise in the end. This book surprises me in a different way though.
The plot is interesting and the pacing is quite fast because I finished only in a few hours. The story is very funny and very easy to follow which makes it even harder for me to put it down because I am genuinely curious to find out what's going to happen in the end.
I think this book is very well written because the comedy element also balance the mystery element in this novel. The atmosphere can be serious at times when the plot is focusing about the murder investigation but sometimes it also added the comedy element to liven up the mood which is great.
The characters also feels relatable and my favorites are definitely Finlay and Vero.
Finlay is a funny single mother who is mistaken as a contract killer while discussing about her upcoming murder mystery novel. I'm also surprise about Vero's character. She actually went through all of it with her and seems cool about it. The way she suggested several things makes me wonder she might have done it before or she just watch a lot of investigation tv shows. I find it amusing the way Finlay and Vero handled everything and I think they might have goddess of luck on their side.
Overall, this is highly entertaining and very enjoyable. I really have a good time reading this. While making this review I just realize that this is a start of a series and apparently the next book will come out next year. The ending really makes me wish I have the next one right now and I can't wait for it!
