As soon as I saw this series available, I jumped all over it. I love everything about this series and these characters. You can NOT go wrong if you want a fun and quirky murder mystery. I am absolutely devouring this series and beleive it is impossible to not have a great time reading.

Thank you Elle Cosimano, St. Martin's Press, Minotaur, and Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review.

Elle Cosimano does it again,

I don't think i've loved a series as much as this one.

I normally don't go for cozy mystery but this one is a MUST.

We get a little bit better of a view into Vero’s past as it comes back up to get her! This book was action packed, included plenty of accidentally committed crimes, intentionally committed crimes, and plenty of amazing banter. I can’t wait for the next one!

I think this my favorite one yet. This romantic suspense series is all levels of entertaining: it’s both funny yet still contains a good level of mystery. I really love all the characters!

'Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun' returns us to Finlay Donovan's world as she attempts to find a contract killer. This task takes her and Vero- her nanny/coconspirator- to the citizen's police academy. I found the setting to be great for moving this story forward, plus, it put Finlay in regular contact with her latest love interest, and the tension between keeping him in the dark about her plans and feeling closer to him provides a lot of comedic energy throughout the book.

Thank you to Elle Cosimano and Minotaur Books for the ARC in exchange for a honest review of 'Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun.'

Fun, fast-paced read, very easy (popcorn lit). The third installment is just as good as the first two. I loved the concept of Finlay being a hit woman, but she sort of segues into more of an investigator. After her hit woman days, she’s now more connected to the mob, who do her more favors while helping her to save her ex. Well, they are now calling in the favor and want the name of the person involved in the hit on her ex. Finley has to juggle her past bad deeds and her current actions from all but her friend, nanny and accountant, Vero.
This is an addictive series and I’m excited to start the next book.

Elle Coimano has such a fun series. This one is just as cute as the other two. More crazy situations they get themselves into. Still enjoy reading about these characters.

Finlay and Vero are back at it in book 3 of this hilarious series. I read this book on my Kindle and listened to the audiobook version as well which was fun. The audiobook is narrated by Angela Dawe and she does a wonderful job. I would recommend both ways to enjoy this book.
It seems that Finlay and Vero just have trouble falling them wherever they go. Yet they always seem able to solve the problems one way or another but not before making me laugh out loud. On to book #4 for me, I can't get enough of this crazy duo.

The Finlay Donovan series never disappoints. This book finds Finlay still trying to figure out who wanted to kill her ex-husband to save him and save herself. All she has are her suspicions that the would-be killer is a police officer and the opportunity to go to a week long event where she would be in contact with all the police officers she suspects. Taking that chance, she and her trusty nanny/accountant Vero find themselves in the middle of an important investigation. One that is dangerous, mysterious, and altogether too entertaining.

I appreciate how real the characters feel even if they're going through entirely unrelatable experiences. I like that they have depth and that the story continues to weave an intricate tale. There's no small details in this series. Everything matters and everything comes up again later in ways that you wouldn't necessarily catch at first glance. Finlay Donovan's story is one that I don't think that I'll ever tire of, and I am so excited to continue to read about her and Vero's adventures, hoping they'll never get caught.

Fasten your seat belts. Finlay Donovan is back and wants all the world to know she’s not a killer for hire! Finlay is already under a certain amount of pressure. Feliks Zhirov, the Russian mobster arrested because of what she told the police, demands that she identify EasyClean, the online contract killer he’s been mistaken for, before Zhirov’s trial begins in two weeks. And he isn’t kidding, Realizing when she sees evidence that one of Zhirov’s people is stalking her nanny, Veronica Ruiz, and her two kids. Vero has problems of her own, since she’s borrowed $200,000 from Marco, a loan shark with teeth, to pay off her other creditors, and the only way she has to raise that kind of money is to liquidate a slightly bullet-ridden Aston Martin she and Finn acquired less than legally in Finlay Donovan Knocks ’Em Dead (2022). How could things possibly get worse? As always Finlay Donovan is a delight to read, funny, fast paced and filled with a lot of action, it is a must read book!

Thank you Netgalley and Minotaur for the ARC in exchange of my honest review.

Love this series! So funny and the perfect cozy mystery with a bit of romance. Love all the side characters and I always laugh at these books!

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Elle Cosimano for providing me with a complimentary digital ARC for Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun. The honest opinions expressed in this review are my own.

I’m loving this series! It feels like cozy mysteries with a little more grit. There’s always a lot going on. I enjoy the hijinks and shenanigans. Finlay and Vero are a fun duo. The Russian plot was fun. There was probably more filler in this book, but I still love the series. I’m excited to read more!

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys murder mysteries!

This book was super fun! It wasn't my favorite in the series but I loved watching Finlay and Vero go to the police academy for the citizen's competition and try and figure out who was the hitman. Like always, this was a super fun, super hilarious, super fast read!

Finlay and Vero are back! And this time, taking part in a civilian police academy, getting some “research” done for Finlay’s next book…or are they?

Still on the hunt for EZ Clean, they get in and out all sorts of situations you don’t expect from your average single mom of two and her nanny.

Just like in previous books, this one is funny and addicting trying to solve the mystery right along with the characters!

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book!

I really enjoyed the third book in the Finlay Donovan series. I thought it was fun to get a bit of a change of scenery, but appreciated that we still have the same great characters to follow. The story continues the situationship that Finlay has found herself in from the first in the series, and it gets even more twisted. I enjoyed that we got more of "hot cop" Nick in this book and love to see Finlay's relationship with him bloom a bit more. And, as always, I love the mix of Vero and her quick wit in the book. I enjoyed this third book and know that I will certainly continue to read this series because it is so good!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced readers copy of this book. All opinions within this review are my own.

the weakest of the 4 of the series that I’ve read so far. While still fun, I didn’t have the urgency to find out what happens next like I did with the other 3.

This is the third book in the Finlay Donovon series. Finlay has to repay a debt to the Russian mob after a favor they did for her in the past. This book has much of the same charm as the first two books. It’s best if you spread these books out and read them when you start missing the characters. I do recommend this book if you’re a fan of the series. It’s a solid sequel.

Thank you, NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press / Minotaur Books for allowing me to read a copy of this book. The opinion in this review is my own.

Another fun installment in the series but I still do not like the main character as a person. Who is watching the kids - is she a mom or does she just liek complaining about how she needs more money to raise them?

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a free copy of this ebook to review. All opinions are my own.

Finlay is a master at getting herself into and out of trouble. Looking forward to more crazy antics.

Like always this series just becomes more absurd and Im here for it. I love how trouble never stops for this wild crew.
Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press/Minotaur Books
