Finlay Donovan is Killing It

“Finlay Donovan is Killing It” - and I'm not just talking about the bodies piling up around her! I'm giving this book 4 stars because it was a ridiculous, hilarious ride that had me giggling and snorting my way through.

Finlay herself? Not exactly relatable (I mean, who gets caught up in a murder plot and still manages to worry about their hair?). But reading about her misadventures was an absolute blast! As she says, “I was a hot mess, but I was a hot mess in a minivan, so I was still a responsible adult, right?”

I loved how the author leaned into the absurdity of it all, with Finlay's inner monologue providing some of the best laughs. Like when she's trying to sneak around a crime scene and thinks, “I was basically a ninja, if ninjas wore yoga pants and had a perpetual wine headache.”

The writing is witty, the pacing is quick, and the characters are quirky and fun. Even if Finlay's antics drive you crazy (and they will), you can't help but root for her. As she says, “I was a terrible person, but I was a terrible person with a good heart.”

Overall, “Finlay Donovan is Killing It” is a fun, lighthearted read perfect for when you need a laugh and a break from the seriousness of life. Just remember, if you're going to get caught up in a murder plot, make sure you're wearing clean pants. Priorities, people!
