Finlay Donovan Is Killing It: A Novel
In development to be a major TV series on Peacock, adapted by Tina Fey and Lang Fisher A USA TODAY BESTSELLER! "Getting the job done" takes on a whole new meaning for one single mom in Finlay Donovan is Killing It, kicking off the beloved, hilarious and heartfelt Finlay Donovan series. “Finlay Donovan is irresistible!”―Janet Evanovich “This series is magical!”―Christina Lauren “The perfect blend of mystery and rom-com.”―Ali Hazelwood Most moms are ready to kill someone by 8.30 a.m. on any given morning . . . Finlay Donovan is killing it . . . except, she’s really not. She’s a stressed-out single-mom of two and struggling novelist, Finlay’s life is in chaos: the new book she promised her literary agent isn’t written, her ex-husband fired the nanny without telling her, and this morning she had to send her four-year-old to school with hair duct-taped to her head after an incident with scissors. When Finlay is overheard discussing the plot of her new suspense novel with her agent over lunch, she’s mistaken for a contract killer, and inadvertently accepts an offer to dispose of a problem husband in order to make ends meet . . . Soon, Finlay discovers that crime in real life is a lot more difficult than its fictional counterpart, as she becomes tangled in a real-life murder investigation. Fast-paced, deliciously witty, and wholeheartedly authentic in depicting the frustrations and triumphs of motherhood in all its messiness, hilarity, and heartfelt moments, Finlay Donovan Is Killing It is the first in the brilliant and beloved Finlay Donovan series from New York Times bestseller and Edgar Award nominee Elle Cosimano.
This book will be available for purchase at the event.
