Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun
by Elle Cosimano (Finlay Donovan #3)
The Finlay Donovan series is about the only one where I will put up with this much nonstop craziness. Everyone's safety is in peril in these stories, whether they are a good guy or a bad guy. Trust no one, almost everyone is telling lies. I'm starting to think of Finlay and Vero as accidental (mostly) serial killers.
Finlay has gotten on wrong side of an imprisoned Russian mob boss. But really, is there a right side of a Russian mob boss? The guy has a task for her to do but the task is proving impossible to accomplish, especially in the short timeline that Finlay is given. That has to be the only reason that Finlay would let her rotten ex husband take the kids for a week. Seriously, these little kids get tossed around like frisbees.
Off to live-in camp for Finlay and Vero. It's firearm training and forensic classes for citizens and the way life has been going for Finlay and Vero, they need this knowledge. Not only that, they have some detecting to do and what better place to get in trouble while spying, sleuthing, and breaking and entering than a citizen's police academy camp. There is nonstop action with some smooching and canoodling along the way. I feel like there is a whole lot of Lucy and Ethel in Finlay and Vero and they wear me out!

IT'S ABOUT TIME! 😂 Thanks, Heather!
Thank you, Jayme. Nap approaching! 😴😁
I think you'll like this one, Anita! 😉 Thanks!
This is what I love about a series, you get to know people and follow them from one book to another. It's not just Finlay and Vero we know but all these other people, too. Even the dead ones! 😂
Thank you, Pat! 😁

Thank you, Kat, when do they rest? 😵 Thanks, Kat!
Thank you, LC! This series is way more madcap than I usually like but I've grown fond of all the repeat characters so it's my dip into OTT craziness 😂
I suspect Finlay's kids will grow up to be smart little terrors after hanging around with these two and all the others who sometimes provide childcare. 😁 Thanks, Catherine!
Thank you, Maureen, hanging around Finlay means wild times for all. Not usually my thing but Finlay and company have captured my attention. 💛
Thank you, meg! 🤗
Thank you, Lisa, it's wild and crazy and I keep coming back 😁
