Finlay Donovan Knocks 'Em Dead by Elle Cosimano
4.0
I enjoyed this book as much as I did the first in the series. The story is highly engaging and thoroughly entertaining. Both Finlay and her sidekick Vero can get into more trouble than Lucy and Ethel in I Love Lucy (yes I’m dating myself). The fact that Finlay has the added pressure of being a single mother with two small children with looming deadlines for the book she’s writing just makes Finlay so relatable to many women.
The book Finlay writes very much resembles the mystery unfolding in her life and I adore this about this series. In her quest to save her ex Steven, she meets a whole gamut of seedy characters. Indeed, she is so focused on her quest she disguises herself to meet a mob boss currently serving time.
There are many characters in this story and it took a while to remember these from the first book which I read almost a year ago. The author does a great job of bringing the reader back to Finlay’s world. The writing is witty and easy to follow but there are a few scenes that may be offensive to more sensitive readers.
I listened to the audiobook version of the book which was narrated by Angela Dawe. She provides the perfect combination of drama and comedy and I thoroughly enjoyed her performance. I would not hesitate to recommend this version of the book to those of you who enjoy this format.
