Finlay Donovan #3
Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun by Elle Cosimano
Published: January 31, 2023 by Minotaur Books
Genre: Mystery Thriller
Taken from Goodreads: Author and single mom Finlay Donovan has been in messes before―after all, she's a pro at removing bloodstains for various unexpected reasons―but none quite like this. When Finlay and her nanny/partner-in-crime Vero accidentally destroyed a luxury car that they had "borrowed" in the process of saving the life of Finlay's ex-husband, the Russian mob did her a favor and bought the car for her. And now Finlay owes them.
Mob boss Feliks is still running the show from behind bars, and he has a task for Finlay: find and identify a contract killer before the cops do. The problem is, the killer might be an officer themself.
Luckily, hot cop Nick has just been tasked with starting up a citizen's police academy, and combined pressure from Finlay's looming book deadline and Feliks is enough to convince Finlay and Vero to get involved. Through firearm training and forensic classes (and some hands-on research with a tempting detective), Finlay and Vero use their time in police academy to sleuth out the real contract killer to free themselves from the mob's clutches―all the while dodging spies, confronting Vero's past, and juggling the daily trials of parenthood.
My Thoughts: Book three is the
Finlay Donovan Series had me laughing and enjoying reading. Elle Cosimano, author, wrote an easy-to-read
book that will keep the reader entertained.
If you are looking for a book that does not require you to keep track of
a ton of characters, the storyline flows quickly, and guaranteed entertainment,
this is the book (or series) for you.
Finlay has an interesting nanny, Veronica, that I cannot wait to learn more about. Her relationship with her ex, Steven, is unique. He wants her back, she can not trust him. Nick, the hot cop, is hot for her but she is not sure getting involved with a cop is a good idea with her background. In short, Finlay’s life is hot mess and everyone around her gets pulled into her mess.
I cannot wait to read book 3.5, a short story that tell’s more of Veronica’s history.
Thank you Minotaur Books for a copy of the book via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
