Publisher's summary

"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.

The narrator’s voice is making it hard to finish!

The story is great but the narrator’s voice is AWFUL when she’s reading as anyone other than Finlay. Literally toe-curling terrible. I am about to buy the book so I don’t have to finish listening to this terrible voice!

So much fun!

I wasn't sure when I started it that I would like it but it surpassed all my expectations. Fun, funny, warm, and oh so deftly plotted. Can't wait for the next one.

Entertaining read

This book was witty and easy to follow. It makes you want to know what happens and keeps you guessing. The characters and dialog are believable. Angela does a great job reading it, lending different voices for each character without being cheesy.

great story, not predictable!

I loved it! It was recommended to me by my sister and did not disappoint. It's fast paced, cleverly woven and very rich in characters and dialog. I liked the' reader, too-- great voices. Can't wait for next book!

Good but a little trite

The story is overall pretty good and you want to keep listening. But some of the plot points and characters are a bit clichéd.
Not the greatest author but a good novelist. If this is a series, I'll keep listening.
