Über diesen Titel

 IT'S MURDER BEING A HIT-MOM

'Entertaining, funny and wholly original' CULTUREFLY
'Proves you only need to get mistaken once for a contract killer to solve all your problems' LISA GARDNER

'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. . .

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 Abbi Waxman and Maria Semple.

Finlay Donovan really is killing it . . .

I just finished the last available book in this series and I am already looking forward to the next one. What makes this series special: Characters who develop and relationships that SLOWLY change throughout the series (I absolutely love that), a complex crime aspect that is a bit „more“ than your typical cozy mystery but far from gory/horror due to the comical aspects of the story/characters and supporting characters with unique and relatable personalities. Warning: The heroine as well as the plots in this series are messy and chaotic. If you don’t have the patience for that, these books are not for you.

LOVE the series

The protagonist is a crime author who somehow is getting paid to kill someone.
It was a really nice audiobook.

This book is not like other thriller books which make you scared while reading, but instead, it is shown in a really realistic way how someone can get involved with such a murder story.

I only gave it 4 stars, since I don't think it was amazing, but it's definitely worth the read. You will have a nice time and you will definitely not get bored.

Crime Author becomes a killer?!

I liked every piece of it: the reader, the plot, the whole story! Is there a part II?

Intriguing and very nicely read
