Sip Story: Cosmo On The Rocks x Finlay Donovan is Killing It
✨Finlay Donovan is Killing It: A Mystery by Elle Cosimano✨
★★★★★
🍸Drink: A Cosmo On The Rocks with a splash of “blood” orrrrr a Bloody Mary (of course)
I was so torn on what drink to make for this book so of course I just made two! ✌️
The first was one that perfectly matched the cover and themes of the book - On The Rocks is a pre-made cocktail co. and their Cosmo is extremely strong and extremely pink. Plus, I thought it was sort of funny since Finlay’s life was *on the rocks*. Then I added a little shot of grenadine and watched it blend with the cosmo like blood - a nod to the multiple murders in the story!
The second drink, a Bloody Mary, was because that was Finlay’s drink of choice in the book. Who orders a Bloody Mary on a weeknight at the bar? She does!
📖Description/Review:
This book was a perfect read. It was a perfect blend of mystery and romance, plus it was laugh-out-loud funny. I absolutely l-o-v-e-d it, and am thrilled that we are not only getting a sequel but a screen adaptation too!

“Finlay Donovan is killing it . . . except, she’s really not. She’s 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 . . . Soon, Finlay 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.”
