Finlay Donovan Is Killing It

This book had me laughing out loud. Such an original and funny storyline! It deserves all the praise it gets.

I can totally see this turned into a TV series. Get on it already, Netflix! :)

I read this because I saw somewhere that a lot of people were talking about how great it was. I thought it was a cute idea but i didn't think it was the best book in the world. Something about either the Finlay character or the writing nagged me but I'm not sure I can verbalize what it was. I would still probably read the next one in the series because I want to know who put a hit out on Stephen

Let me start by saying: if you need a book to be realistic/plausible, you will hate this novel. It requires a lot of suspension of disbelief. If, however, you can accept that a struggling romance author/suburban mom can keep company with the Russian mafia and get away with murder, then read on. The protagonist makes a shocking number of terrible decisions and somehow manages to get away with them. This was an easy listen and I enjoyed that it was set in the DC suburbs – fun to mentally place it near Dulles, South Riding and Reston. As ridiculous as the book was, it entertained me in a cotton candy kind of way.
