Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun (Finlay Donovan, #3)
by
by
Romantic Suspense novelist Finlay Donovan has recently made three resolutions-She has sworn off men, junk food, and hauling “bodies” in her mini van.
But, apparently, holding men hostage in bathroom stalls didn’t make the list, as the book opens in this “compromising” position.
Yes, Finlay and Vero, her nanny/partner in crime are back with their extremely OVER THE TOP antics, and we pick up right where we left off in book #2.
I think it’s important to read this series in order, for maximum enjoyment, as the book’s synopsis (and the book) give away *SPOILERS* if you haven’t read the earlier installments.
So, to avoid that, let’s just say that this book is about DEADLINES!
Finlay has a deadline to submit edits to Sylvia, who claims that her latest manuscript-WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT be based on Finlay’s own life, is “fifty shades of boring”. She wants more “spice” and less “Thelma and Louise”.
She and Vero also have a deadline from Russian Mob boss, Feliks, to identify who “EasyClean” is…if they hope to erase the debt owed to him.
The problem is-they think that the contract killer who goes by that name-could be a cop…
So, the pair enroll in the “Citizen’s Police Academy” hosted by academy coordinator, Detective Nicolas Anthony. (YES! The hot-cop is back!)
Not only does this seem like the safest place to hide out-until they find the answer they need, but it also gives them an opportunity to do some undercover investigating of their own.
They never imagined that their elderly neighbor, “Mrs. Haggerty” (a fun new character) could be the greatest obstacle to their success!
Although we do get some resolution, the book ends with a big cliffhanger-and we will have to wait for book four to see how the latest SITUATION plays out!
Finlay Donovan Jumps The Gun is NOW AVAILABLE!
A fun buddy read with DeAnn-be sure to check out her review !
