Edgar-Award nominee Elle Cosimano's witty, fast-paced adult debut follows struggling suspense novelist and single mom Finlay Donovan, whose fiction begins to tread dangerously close to the truth. Hilarious set up... A struggling romantic suspense writer meets her agent at a Panera to talk through the plot of her work-in-progress, but a woman overhears them talking about murder, sees duck tape and a knife in her purse, and mistakes her for a hitwoman talking about her next target. The woman slips a note into her bag with her husband's name, a phone #, and the promise of $50,000. And so it begins...
- Finlay is a highly relatable single-mother who is resilient and resourceful, her character is molded from Elle's own frustrations and triumphs as both a mother and an author, written with the goal of bringing that authentic experience--all its messiness, hilarity, and heartfelt moments--to the page.
- The first in a series that is certain to attract readers from a wide number of genres. A fast-paced mystery, filled with dry, dark humor, it will appeal to lovers of contemporary women's fiction and cozy mysteries.
- HAD CONSIDERABLE WORD-OF-MOUTH, BOTH "ON AND OFF THE BOOK PAGE." Even if mysteries are not your forte, GIVE THIS A SHOT.
- She has support from New York Times bestselling authors including Megan Miranda, Wendy Walker, and Lisa Gardner.
- Finlay Donovan is coming to the small screen! The series has been optioned to Fox21/Touchstone 20th Television Studios, with Marlene King (Pretty Little Liars) to adapt, in a major auction.

Edgar-Award nominee Elle Cosimano’s witty, fast-paced adult debut follows struggling suspense novelist and single mom Finlay Donovan, whose fiction begins to tread dangerously close to the truth.
Finlay Donovan is killing it...except, she’s really not. A stressed-out single mom of two and a struggling novelist, Finlay finds her life 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.
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. Finlay soon discovers that crime in real life is a lot more difficult than its fictional counterpart, as she becomes tangled in a murder investigation.
