BOOK BEGINNINGS ON FRIDAYS
Finlay Donovan Knocks 'Em Dead by Elle Cosimano
Thank you for joining me for Book Beginnings on Fridays. Please share the opening sentence (or so) of the book you are reading this week. You can also share from a book that caught your fancy, even if you are not reading it right now.
MY BOOK BEGINNING
Christopher was dead.-- from Finlay Donovan Knocks 'Em Dead by Elle Cosimano. Well, that's as good a way as any to start a mystery book! Straight to the point.
Finlay Donovan Knocks 'Em Dead is the second book in Elle Cosimano's mystery series featuring a novelist and single mom mistakenly thought to be a contract killer. I haven't read the first book, Finlay Donovan is Killing It, but found this one on my TBR shelf and am in the mood to give it a try.
Have you read any of the Finlay Donovan books? What do you think of them?
The Friday 56 is a natural tie-in with Book Beginnings. The idea is to share a two-sentence teaser from page 56 of your featured book. If you are reading an ebook or audiobook, find your teaser from the 56% mark.

MY FRIDAY 56
-- from Finlay Donovan Knocks 'Em Dead:
"She's their babysitter, Steven!"
"And I'm their father! I want to see my kids."
FROM THE PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION
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.
