k.a nanny, she finds herself to investigate a real life crimes: a contract killer out there and Finlay is so close to solve it with her unconventional approach. She’s a recently single mom of two young children and a barely known author struggling to make ends meet since her ex left her for their sexy real estate agent.
Being the lousy decision maker that she is, Finlay proceeds to dig herself in a deeper hole as she tries to get herself out of this job. This book is so FUN, I adore all the characters, it’s so fast paced I easily finished this within 24 hours cause I couldn’t put it down. There's not much I can say that hasn't been said before, so I will just say it was a super unrealistic but fun read. In my defense, Theresa had started it when she’d attempted to justify her reasons for sleeping with my husband.You never want to be the asshole that leaves a message promising to kill someone for being late, only to find out they’ve already been murdered. Finlay Donovan is killing it, is the FIRST in a new comedy-mystery series, about a Single Mom and struggling Suspense Novelist, whose Fiction MAY or MAY NOT BE, inspired by events in her own life.
Though she’s tempted by the money—and curious about the potential victims—she never actually commits any of the murders herself. If mornings are messy and crazy, you need to get up earlier and start to prepare the night before such as laying out clothes, shoes, backpacks for the next day. It felt like a lot crammed into the plot, like one twist was happening after the other, and that it was trying to distract the reader from other things.
This suspenseful romp made me laugh but also kept me on the edge of my seat with its many surprises. He uses duck glue,” Delia insisted, following me around the kitchen as I scraped the breakfast scraps into the trash and dumped the plates in the sink along with my sanity. I laughed throughout, and also had major anxiety throughout as Finlay got herself into deeper waters from one ridiculous situation to the next. Her acclaimed young adult novels include Nearly Gone, Holding Smoke, The Suffering Tree, and Seasons of the Storm.
Making matters worse, on the morning of a very important meeting with her agent, to discuss her barely existent new novel, Finlay discovers her ex-hubby has also fired their nanny. My agent was already on a train from Grand Central to Union Station, where I was supposed to meet her for a brunch reservation at a restaurant I couldn’t afford so we could discuss exactly how overdue I was on my deadline for a book I had started three times and probably would never finish because … Jesus, look around me.And the HOA is going to put a lien on the house if you don’t pay the special assessment bill they sent you in June. If you are looking for a healthy dose of realism and grit, then you are going to be doomed to be disappointed, but if instead you are looking for fun, entertainment, bags of humour and laughs, then Finlay Donovan is your woman. One bad decision leads to another and Finlay is in way over her head, only to be rescued/enabled in doing more bad deeds, by her nanny, Vero.
