Finlay Donovan Knocks ‘Em Dead by Elle Cosimano
Synopsis.
Finlay Donovan is—once again—struggling to finish her next novel and keep her head above water as a single mother of two. On the bright side, she has her live-in nanny and confidant Vero to rely on, and the only dead body she’s dealt with lately is that of her daughter’s pet goldfish.
On the not-so-bright side, someone out there wants her ex-husband, Steven, out of the picture. Permanently. Whatever else Steven may be, he’s a good father, but saving him will send her down a rabbit hole of soccer moms disguised as hit-women, and a little bit more involvement with the Russian mob than she’d like.
Meanwhile, Vero’s keeping secrets, and Detective Nick Anthony seems determined to get back into her life. He may be a hot cop, but Finlay’s first priority is preventing her family from sleeping with the fishes… and if that means bending a few laws then so be it.
With her next book’s deadline looming and an ex-husband to keep alive, Finlay is quickly coming to the end of her rope. She can only hope there isn’t a noose at the end of it…
The Review
FINLAY DONOVAN KNOCKS EM DEAD by Elle Cosimano
I read the first book in this sequel in ebook format and if I continue in the series I will go back to that format.
I did not enjoy the performances. And the combination of the characters and implausible storyline lent to the characters being paper-thin, absurdly naive, and overall annoying rather than being charming and unknowingly likable.
I wanted to like this one more than I did.
I recommend to readers looking for a good time rather than a realistic one.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks to Macmillan Audio and Netgalley for this advanced copy!
( I promise I still like books but perhaps simultaneously reading this book alongside A LITTLE LIFE by Hanya Yanagihara was not the smartest reading plan).
