Thoughts: Absolutely loved this book! I’ve had it on my want to read list for a while but deciding to pull the trigger this weekend when grabbing some new books and I’m glad I did. Finlay is a single mom struggling to get by with her writing career. While discussing the latest plot of her book with her agent she is mistaken for a contract killer, and then accidentally becomes one. The book is entertaining, comical with just the right amount of suspense.
Summary: Finlay Donovan is killing it . . . except, she’s really not. 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.
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 . . . 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.
