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…

FINLAY DONOVAN KNOCKS ‘Em DEAD BY ELLE COSIMANO
BOOK REVIEW

I received a copy of this book from the publisher for free in exchange for an honest review. My opinions have not been influenced by the publisher or the author.

Early last year I got my hands on FINLAY DONOVAN IS KILLING IT and devoured it. I had such a grand time that I couldn’t wait to get my fingers on the sequel.

But with a sequel I always fear it won’t measure up. Fortunately I didn’t have to worry because Finlay was as hilarious as I remembered – maybe even a bit more so. And her friendship with Vero is still my favorite part of the book.

I love a great female friendship.

And the one between Finlay and Vero is one of my most favorite. Both women are just so ballsy at times. And the situations they get in – MY GOODNESS!!!!! These books are a lot of fun. Although not very realistic, they are incredibly entertaining. And when it comes to entertainment Finlay delivers in spades.

The sequel pretty much picks up where the first book left off. Not much time has gone by since the ending of FDIKI and Finlay is still figuring things out about her Ex, Vero has her own problems, and then there is Nick – oh man, I’m in love with him. And that’s not even all of it. The book is full to the brim with possibilities and action.

A LOT is going on in a short amount of time, which makes for an exciting and fast paced novel.

Also the humor is right up my alley and the writing makes me smile and chuckle along. Something I find incredibly amusing is how Finlay comes up with the plot for her fictional books. Honestly it’s ridiculous the way she does it, and I wonder how many other authors do it the same way – lol.

For me, Finlay is the perfect book to leave reality behind and escape into someone else’s life. Especially if it’s a life that is so over the top unrealistic and so funny that it’s hard to put down. I still haven’t enough of Finlay and Vero and their escapades. I definitely need MORE and I can’t wait to read the next book.
