Finlay Donovan Is Killing It by Elle Cosimano

5.0

Finlay Donovan's life is a dumpster fire - she is bouncing back from a divorce, struggling with writer's block to complete a novel and meet her deadline; she has lost her babysitter, and her house is a mess. During a meeting with her agent, they discuss the lurid details of a murder plot for her book and are overheard, with hilarious results!

I loved everything about this joyride of a novel. The humour and humanity of Elle Cosimano shines through in the engaging characters and supportive friendship of Finlay and Vero. I observed Finlay's working mother woes with compassion, as I too recalled a messy house, sticky clothes, unreliable babysitters, and toddler mishaps. The plot curveballs are so entertaining and the conclusion satisfying, with a final eye-popping surprise at the end.

I unreservedly give this a 5 star rating and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a lighter take on a murder plot. You will be entertained!
