The $50,000 she’s offered to kill someone’s scumbag husband is certainly tempting enough for her to explore that option - enough that she accidentally ends up with a dead body in her car. It’s clever, it’s over-the-top, and it’s just fun -despite the very dark subject matter.įinlay Donovan is a young divorcee with two kids, an empty bank account, and a looming book deadline, when she’s accidentally mistaken for a hitman in a northern Virginia Panera. And if you’ve read “Finlay Donovan is Killing It,” I think you’d say that description is 100% spot-on. Review: I never thought that I would find myself describing a book as an “enjoyable murder farce,” but well, 2021 is taking us strange places. Soon, Finlay discovers that crime in real life is a lot more difficult than its fictional counterpart, as she becomes tangled in a real-life murder investigation.
When Finlay is overheard discussing the plot of her new suspense novel with her agent over lunch, she’s mistaken for a contract killer, and inadvertently accepts an offer to dispose of a problem husband in order to make ends meet. She’s a stressed-out single-mom of two and struggling novelist, Finlay’s life is in chaos: the new book she promised her literary agent isn’t written, her ex-husband fired the nanny without telling her, and this morning she had to send her four-year-old to school with hair duct-taped to her head after an incident with scissors. “Finlay Donovan is Killing It” by Elle Cosimano
