About this listen
It's murder being a hit-mom.
When struggling crime writer Finlay Donovan takes on a life of crime normally reserved for her characters, she finds herself entangled in a real-life murder investigation. Witty and fast-paced, this murder mystery is perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich and Maria Semple.
'It is a widely known fact that most mums are ready to kill someone by eight-thirty AM on any given Monday....'
Finlay Donovan, single mum and floundering crime writer, is having a hard time. Her ex-husband went behind her back to fire the nanny, and this morning she sent her four-year-old to school with hair duct-taped to her head after an unfortunate incident with scissors.
Making it to lunch with her literary agent is a minor victory but, as she's discussing the plot of her latest crime novel, the conversation is misinterpreted by a woman sitting nearby as that of a hit-woman offering her services to dispose of a 'problem' husband.
And when the woman slips Finlay a name and a promise of a large sum of cash, Finlay finds herself plotting something much bigger than her novel.
And, after all, they do always say: write what you know....

A cracking good yarn
This book was one of those which I felt from the very first sentence that it ihad a super well contructed plot, would hold my attention, provide some thrills, humour and excitement, and would never flag right till the very end. I was right - a really fun listen.

A Fun and Quirky Read
This book came highly recommended as being better than Stephanie Plum, so I had to give it a listen. It was definitely fun although a bit unbelievable—but honestly, who cares? It hit the mark for me as a light-hearted and funny read. That said, I'm not entirely convinced it outshines Stephanie Plum.
Will I buy the next book? Not yet. However, if a couple of the author's titles show up in the freebies, I might give them a shot.

Single mom tackles the Mob!
Minor author and divorced mother of two, Finlay Donovan is struggling to pay the bills, maintain custody of her kids, and write her next novel. Through mishap and misunderstanding, Finlay is thrust into the role of amateur assassin while juggling Russian mobsters, her ex-husband, and the police - lucky she has a good babysitter! I took a punt on this first-in-a-series and liked it a lot. Finlay isn’t quite as funny or klutzy as Stephanie Plum, but it was fun. I admired her sass and resourcefulness and I honestly couldn’t tell how this was going work out until it did. And while there wasn’t a cliffhanger, the ending left me wanting more. Audio narrator Angela Dawe really grew on me - she did a great job.

Excellent
Thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. An interesting angle for the story and characters you find yourself becoming emerged in the lives of. I can’t wait for the second.
