Book Review for Finlay Donovan Knocks 'Em Dead by Elle Cosimano

 

Finlay Donovan #2

Finlay Donovan Knocks 'Em Dead by Elle Cosimano

Published: February 2, 2021 by Minotaur Books

Taken from Goodreads:  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 hit-women disguised as soccer moms, 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...

From Edgar-Award nominee Elle Cosimano, comes Finlay Donovan Knocks 'Em Dead―the hilarious and heart-pounding follow-up to Finlay Donovan is Killing It.

 

My Thoughts:  Book two in this series and I cannot wait to read more.    Finlay is still in the deep of things with Vero by her side.   The things she gets herself into made me laugh and cringe... a lot of cringing.  

Elle Cosimano wrote a book that I could not put down.  The words just flowed perfectly.   I read it in just a couple days.   Once I started reading, I lost track of everything around me.  I just needed to know what fix Finlay would get herself into next and how she would get out of it.   

This is a must-read series, I cannot wait for book 3!

Thank you Minotaur for a copy of the book via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
