Yes, yes, yes. This book is just as enjoyable as I thought it would be. Not only is the premise fantastic (although a bit far-fetched), the plot unfolds with twist after twist until the cliffhanging end.


As a divorcee, single mom, and an author, Finlay Donovan can’t make ends meet and finds herself in mountains of debt. Until, after a conversation with her agent in a local Panera, a woman passes her a note, offering the flustered Finn $50,000 to kill her husband.


The task is met, with several complications, with Finlay attempting to cover her tracks and avoid arrest in the most hilarious of ways.


As a character, Finlay is immediately relatable; I mean, who doesn’t empathize with a person down on their luck? While her pluck and cleverness develop as the complications are thrown her way.


If you’re a fan of mystery, suspense, and comedy. This book is for you!

Does it raise any questions on the morality of killing someone?

Finlay feels guilty, but mostly she's afraid of the consequences. The target is that dastardly, that despicable; he rapes and then blackmails his victims. Finlay soon realizes that the world is better off without him.
