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.

Great story and narrator!

I was concerned that a lot of people said the narrator had annoying voices for side characters. I didn't find then annoying. if anything they helped me keep track of who was speaking because they were so distinctive.

HOT Nick

I got book 2 on sale and had to go back and get this book one for a full credit and it was so well worth it. These are continuing stories and they don’t stand alone, so now even though I read book 2 first and it was hilarious it really didn’t make all that much sense until I went back and listen to this one. The books are short very entertaining And if you’re able to get any or all on sale then it’s a great listen because the wonderful Angela Dawe really interprets the whit of all the characters. In this book hot Nick is featured and not much in book 2 which was a disappointment. This author ends the books Not with a cliffhanger but a preview of the next book.
Where my comments of help?

Relatable in a weird way!

This is oddly relatable and incredibly interesting! I could not put my phone down and stop listening. I wanted to listen to this book non-stop, but unfortunately, I had to turn it off to take care of my kids. Hahah!

The story was suspenseful and kept you guessing. It was hilarious and made me laugh out loud. What I mean by relatable, is if I were in her shoes I would probably find myself doing the same things. Well, maybe to a certain extent. I want more! I pre-ordered the next book. Honestly, this was the best book I’ve listened to in a while and I loved it.

I highly recommend! Ten out of five stars!

Pretty entertaining!

This narrator wasn't for me so I almost didn't keep listening. However, the story is interesting and I found myself continuing to listen to find out what happens next. It was entertaining and usually with these kinds of stories I find myself getting frustrated with the main character's stupid decisions but there were only a couple of things in this story where I thought "NO! Don't do it!!!".
I found myself looking for reasons to listen. Also, I don't know if this is a series but it ends like it could possibly be. I would read another one of these books.

Story is hilarious

The narrator spoke like she was always presenting a punch line. I know it was a funny book, but her voice was annoying. She would have been great if she had read it straight?
