About this listen

"Angela Dawe's narration makes YA author Elle Cosimano's debut novel for grown-ups a wild and funny romp...Dawe offers Cosimano's laugh-out-loud moments with just the right sparkle." (AudioFile Magazine)

IT’S MURDER BEING A HIT-MOM

"Getting the job done" for one single mom takes on a whole new meaning in Finlay Donovan is Killing It, a deliciously witty adult debut - the first in a brilliant new series from YA Edgar Award nominee Elle Cosimano.

FINLAY DONOVAN IS KILLING IT...except, she’s really not. 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.

When Finlay’s overheard discussing the plot of her new 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...and she soon discovers that crime in real life is a lot more difficult than its fictional counterpart.

This was truly a mystery unlike any other it's read. It's amazing how easily we can get ourselves caught in a situation we really don't want to be in. Finley was a magnet for just those types of situations. With her nanny/accountant by her side, this book is laugh out loud funny, cringe worthy and just hands down, really good overall. This book should so be turned into a movie starring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler and it would be an absolute hit at the box office. If you've read it, you know what on talking about. If you haven't, what are you waiting for?!

This is now one of my favorite books. It’s funny, intriguing, and hard to put down. I’ll definitely follow up with Finlay’s escapades in Cosimano’s second book.

Very very hard to turn off. I struggled going to sleep because I was so invested. Its a straight forward book, didn't take much to see the ending. I really enjoyed that fact, no surprise twists for a change. very happy over all.

Throughly enjoyable book

Finlay Donovan was a loveable character from the start. The very first line sucked me in. At times, the narrator was a bit much for me. But for the most part, the emotion only helped the story. I appreciated the switch in tones so characters were easily identified.

In the end, I wanted more. More of her life story, more Julian. I felt like so many storylines started and stopped abruptly. A tale of a million twists. Maybe Finlay will be back for more?

Overall, it's nicely written and read. And if Finlay comes back, I'll be back for more.

Finlay Donovan is every suburban mom. But not.

This was just the book I needed. Like many others I have been dealing with a lot of serious issues in my personal life and needed a book that didn't bring me even more down. What I needed was an escape that was smart with characters that were compelling. I found it in this title! Just give yourself some time to let the characters and story develop and I admit I had to get use to the narrator.. In the beginning I honestly wasn't sure I would like it but it didn't take too long and I was hooked and laughing out loud.

I just loved this! Great characters, fun storyline, lots of room for more! I hope the next one is in the works.

Hope that this becomes a series!

This book is funny, engaging and entertaining. The main character is relatable, a bit of a hot mess, and doing the best with what she has. Vero, the nanny, is amazing and worth the entire book alone! That said, I'm a murder mystery afficiando and I felt like several characters made very stupid decisions that seemed to be for the sake of driving the plot; not realistically the way a reasonable human being would act.

All together a fine debut and I expect the author to improve as they continue to put out such a fun series!

Funny but had some plot holes

A single mom and a murder. I love the story. The idea was simple, someone wants their husband dead. But they way Elle Cosimano told Finely Donovan was amazingly beautiful. It was funny and I was in the edge of my seat the whole time. A must read!

Entertaining All the Way!!
