Struggling author Finlay Donovan is broke and in danger of losing her kids when a stranger in Panera Bread slips her a note asking her to kill her husband. Misunderstandings abound, and I kind of bought in to what I thought was the premise: the heroine stumbles into a clumsy career as a contract killer. 

Unfortunately, as other reviewers have mentioned, she doesn't actually *do* anything. Things just happen around her. I also found the writing to drag. It got repetitive as the author clearly wanted to make sure the reader didn't miss anything or fail to connect the dots. 

This had a lot of potential but it was just OK. I probably won't keep reading the series.
