Finlay Donovan Is Killing It by Elle Cosimano

Finlay Donovan Is Killing It (Finlay Donovan #1) by Elle Cosimano, 355 p.

"Finlay Donovan is killing it...except, she’s really not. 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.

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 soon 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.

Fast-paced, deliciously witty, and wholeheartedly authentic in depicting the frustrations and triumphs of motherhood in all its messiness, hilarity, and heartfelt moments, Finlay Donovan Is Killing It is the first in a brilliant new series from award-winning Elle Cosimano."--Goodreads blurb

The premise to this story sounded so hilarious that I had to give it a try. And is was fun and funny, but you have to be prepared to suspend belief from what any sane person would do in real life. Cosimano drags the reader on one hell of a ride with Finlay's hijinks being quite entertaining. Fun read.
