She soon discovers that crime in real life is a lot more difficult than its fictional counterpart, as she becomes tangled in a real-life murder investigation.įinlay Donovan is Killing it is fun, fast-paced, full of twists and turns, and absolutely absurd. When Finlay is overheard discussing the plot of her new suspense 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.

A stressed-out single mom of two and struggling novelist, Finlay’s life is in chaos: 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 after an incident with scissors.
