It took a minute to connect with Finlay. I pictured it in my head like a dark comedy sitcom, that helped tremendously.
We all need a Vero in our life.
I listened and read at the same time but needed to listened on 1.6-1.8 speed.

This was a super cute murder mystery, with lots of comedic relief and a tiny hint of romance! Finlay and Vero are very likable and also relatable characters. The entire story line of a struggling author-freshly-divorced-mom-of-2 getting mistaken as a contract killer and roped into dealing with the mob was unique and entertaining.

And although she turns it down, events transpire to put Finlay right in the middle of the situation anyway. Funny. Irreverent. Quirky. Occasional tropes, but enough twist...read more
