Story
Vera Wong is a lonely little lady of a certain age who lives above her forgotten tea shop in the middle of San Francisco’s Chinatown. She likes nothing more than sipping on a good cup of Wulong and doing some healthy detective work on the Internet about what her Gen-Z son is up to. Then one morning, Vera trudges downstairs to find a curious thing—a dead man in the middle of her shop. In his outstretched hand, a flash drive. After calling the cops like any good citizen, she swipes the flash drive. Why? Because Vera is sure she would do a better job than the police possibly could.

Publisher's Summary
"Angela Dawe's narration makes YA author Elle Cosimano's debut novel for grown-ups a wild and funny romp...Dawe offers Cosimano's laugh-out-loud moments with just the right sparkle." (AudioFile Magazine)
IT’S MURDER BEING A HIT-MOM
"Getting the job done" for one single mom takes on a whole new meaning in Finlay Donovan is Killing It, a deliciously witty adult debut - the first in a brilliant new series from YA Edgar Award nominee Elle Cosimano.
FINLAY DONOVAN IS KILLING IT...except, she’s really not. 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.
When Finlay’s overheard discussing the plot of her new 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...and she soon discovers that crime in real life is a lot more difficult than its fictional counterpart.

loved!
Great story and entertaining performance! Found myself giggling out loud more than once. Loos ends were tied up...but small twist at the end that leaves a possibility of a sequel.

Definitely would recommend
It was a great read that had me hooked from the start. Super fluid, funny and intriguing and definitely keeps you guessing with every page turn. You never know how it’s going to end up, and even when you think you do, there’s another twist. Definitely give it a read, it’s worth it! Literally running to start the next one!

Fun Plot
I won’t lie, I almost didn’t get into the story at first. The start seemed to have a few forced elements, like the events that led up to the fates meeting in the restaurant and some radical trust moments.
But, the turning of the plot, expected or not, did keep you on your toes here and there. With several characters playing dual roles in Finlay’s personal life and in the murder investigation(s), it was fun guessing along the way. If you are the type who loves to be wrong when you are guessing the plot, I would recommend.
All in all, the story gives the vibe of ‘If Stephanie Plum had kids while surviving domestic dystopia and clumsily catching bad guys’; a quirky and relatable heroine making it in crazy backwards and lethal situations. Downloading the next one when I can.
For the performance, the voices were very well done with one exception; there are a few accent slips in the first half of the audio. I think they may be from the UK? But I might also be nit picking.

Ok
The performance and writing is good enough, but I found the thought process (or lack thereof) of the lead character super frustrating. To each their own?
