Finlay Donovan Is Killing It Adaptation: Everything We Know So Far About The Exciting New Series
The Finlay Donovan Is Killing It adaptation has a ton of interest, which is why it’s pretty disappointing that there have not been very many updates. While the rights were purchased before the book was even released, and the series has gained a big following successful releases of the first two books, the series has been slow moving. Hopefully that will change at some point and we’ll get to see Finlay hit the screen before long.

About The Book:
Finlay Donovan is killing it…except, she’s really not. A stressed-out single mom of two and struggling novelist, Finlay’s life is 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. She soon discovers that crime in real life is a lot more difficult than its fictional counterpart, as she becomes tangled in a real-life murder investigation.
