Edgar-Award nominee Elle Cosimano's adult debut Finlay Donovan Is Killing It is the first in a witty, fast-paced mystery series, following struggling suspense novelist and single mom Finlay Donovan, whose fiction treads dangerously close to the truth as she becomes tangled in real-life murder investigations.
An Edgar nominee for best YA novel, Cosimano makes her adult debut with this off-the-wall series starter, which is part comedy of errors, part genuine thriller. Deftly balancing genre conventions with sly, tongue-in-cheek comments on motherhood and femininity, Cosimano crafts a deliciously twisted tale that will earn her a slew of adult fans.
The winners here are the readers, who will find themselves in a pleasant and humorous comic caper ... Cosimano has created a delightful supporting cast ... an easy, enjoyable and witty novel. It appears that sequels may be on the way, and I will be happy to see where Finlay and her friends turn up next.
Readers can pick up YA author Cosimano’s fun adult debut and put it down again without losing the story. Adults and high school readers will enjoy this breezy romp.
