Elle Cosimano

From Edgar-Award nominee Elle Cosimano, comes FINLAY DONOVAN KNOCKS 'EM DEAD—the hilarious and heart-pounding follow-up to FINLAY DONOVAN IS KILLING IT.

Finlay Donovan is—once again—struggling to finish her next novel and keep her head above water as a single mother of two. On the bright side, she has her live-in nanny and confidant Vero to rely on, and the only dead body she's dealt with lately is that of her daughter's pet goldfish.

On the not-so-bright side, someone out there wants her ex-husband, Steven, out of the picture. Permanently. Whatever else Steven may be, he's a good father, but saving him will send her down a rabbit hole of hit-women disguised as soccer moms, and a little bit more involvement with the Russian mob than she'd like.

Meanwhile, Vero's keeping secrets, and Detective Nick Anthony seems determined to get back into her life. He may be a hot cop, but Finlay's first priority is preventing her family from sleeping with the fishes... and if that means bending a few laws then so be it.

With her next book's deadline looming and an ex-husband to keep alive, Finlay is quickly coming to the end of her rope. She can only hope there isn't a noose at the end of it...

"Maybe you're just burned out on romantic suspense," she said, pivoting toward me. "Maybe you need to spread your wings. You know, chalenge yourself artistically. I've been reading about this new trend. There's a huge untapped market for it." 

"Dino porn." I choked on my coffee. "I am telling you, Finlay, I have run all the numbers, and dino porn is the next big thing." 

I turned to gape at her. "How is that even possible?" 

"I wondered about that, too, so I downloaded a few samples." She bent her elbows into tiny T. rex arms. "Apparently, the dino-hero's hands are pretty small, but our heroine doesn't mind, because he more than makes up for it with his super-enormous-"

"Stop!" I covered my eyes, determined not to picture it. "I don't want to know."

"So you found the answer in Feliks Zhirov's wallet?"

 "More like in his pants," Vero muttered.

Girl if you don’t want him then leave him to me 😂😂 

"They're for Delia and Zach," he corrected her as she whisked them to the table. "And the wine is for your mom," he said to me as I helped him maneuver over the threshold.

I swear the mom was everything in this book 😂 I love her 😭

"Please, call me Susan," she insisted. I was just grateful she hadn't asked him to call her Mom.
