Summary
It's murder being a hit-mom.
When struggling crime writer Finlay Donovan takes on a life of crime normally reserved for her characters, she finds herself entangled in a real-life murder investigation. Witty and fast-paced, this murder mystery is perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich and Maria Semple.
'It is a widely known fact that most mums are ready to kill someone by eight-thirty AM on any given Monday....'
Finlay Donovan, single mum and floundering crime writer, is having a hard time. Her ex-husband went behind her back to fire the nanny, and this morning she sent her four-year-old to school with hair duct-taped to her head after an unfortunate incident with scissors.
Making it to lunch with her literary agent is a minor victory but, as she's discussing the plot of her latest crime novel, the conversation is misinterpreted by a woman sitting nearby as that of a hit-woman offering her services to dispose of a 'problem' husband.
And when the woman slips Finlay a name and a promise of a large sum of cash, Finlay finds herself plotting something much bigger than her novel.
And, after all, they do always say: write what you know....
Critic reviews
"Proves you only need to get mistaken once for a contract killer to solve all your problems." (Lisa Gardner)
"Funny and smart, twisty and surprising - Finlay Donovan is a character to root for. This suspenseful romp made me laugh but also kept me on the edge of my seat with its many surprises. I can't wait for the next book!" (Megan Miranda)
"Clever, perfectly plotted, and laugh out loud funny, Finlay Donovan is Killing It is one of those books that will make you smile long after you've turned the last page." (Wendy Walker, best- selling author of The Night Before)

Quite good
Not too keen on narrator, or maybe it’s just i didn’t gel with the book’s voice. Bit predictable but fun.

amazing performance!
Angela Dawe did a fantastic job of narrating this! She perfectly switched between character voices, I forgot I was listening to a book read by a single person rather than a whole crew.

very well read and performed.
interesting idea though I would wish for a bit more that I don't want to write due to spoiler. hope this is a series or at least has a follow up covering last line.

10/10
Absolutely stellar performance by Angela Dawe. Elle Cosimano’s writing is so tangible and realistic. Thoroughly enjoyable and not my usual genre. Instantly downloaded the sequel.

entertaining book
it was entertaining, but I found the story and plot quite lacking and hard to believe. seemed she had a lot of luck rather than skill. won't continue.

Ok but predictable
Easy to read but pretty obvious where the story was heading, although a small twist near the end but overall very predictable.
