Finaly Donovan, a divorced mother of two and a struggling novelist, is stressed-out. Her novel is due to her agent, but it isn’t finished. Her divorced husband is getting engaged to the Realtor he was cheating with, and he’s trying to take the kids. He also fired the nanny. She has to get the kids to school, but first she has to deal with her daughter’s self-inflicted hair cut.
When Finlay meets with her agent, she’s overheard discussing the plot of her mystery novel. The eavesdropper thinks Finlay is a contract killer and slips her a note. When Finlay follows up it turns out she wants to get rid of her husband. The money is tempting and before she realizes it Finlay is involved in a real murder investigation.
This is an amusing novel with laugh-out-loud humor interspersed with some darker moments. Finlay is a character any mom can associate with whether single or not. There are just some days when you have kids. Vero, her babysitter, is an excellent counterpoint. You can’t help liking them both.
I recommend the book if you just want to relax, laugh a little, and enjoy a likable character’s troubles for awhile.
I received this book from St. Martin’s Press for this review.
