Need an afternoon off and something funny and relaxing to read? Then Finlay Donovan Is Killing It is the perfect pick for a few carefree hours. It’s a murder mystery with cozy crime vibes and plenty of comedy mixed in. As the first book in the Finlay Donovan series, it delivers pure chaos and absurdity.
The story is easy to read and fast-paced: quick enough to keep you hooked, but never so rushed that you lose the plot. You could easily finish it in a day. It follows Finlay, a struggling author dealing with writer’s block while juggling two kids (and an ex who is the walking definition of ick). And also, who somehow finds herself accidentally tangled up in a murder-for-hire situation.
Elle Cosimano creates genuinely lovable characters who truly have each other’s backs: Finlay and Vero, her friend/nanny. Their dynamic is both hilarious and heartwarming. Reading about them navigate everyday life while unraveling a murderous plot is endlessly entertaining. This first book is a fantastic start to a lighthearted murder mystery series! Perfect for anyone who wants to relax and laugh.
