"Narrator Angela Dawe is adept at providing distinct voices for Finlay; her somewhat shady sidekick, Vero; and the cast of quirky characters, good and evil, who come and go."—AudioFile Magazine

"Once again, much credit goes to narrator Angela Dawe for giving voice to our protagonist and making the audiobook a blast to listen to..."—Bibliosanctum

From USA Today bestseller and Edgar Award nominee Elle Cosimano, comes Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun—the hilarious and heart-pounding next installment in the beloved Finlay Donovan series.

"Fresh, heartfelt and witty, Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun is a twisty page-turner, and its relatable heroine Finlay Donovan is irresistible!"—Janet Evanovich, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Stephanie Plum series

Dating. Diapers. And dodging bullets. Who said single moms can't have fun?

Finlay Donovan has been in messes before—after all, she's an author and single mom who's a pro at getting out bloodstains for rather unexpected reasons—but none quite like this. After she and her nanny/partner-in-crime Vero accidentally destroyed a luxury car that they may have "borrowed" in the process of saving the life of Finlay's ex-husband, the Russian mob got her out of debt. But now Finlay owes them.

Still running the show from behind bars, mob boss Feliks has a task for Finlay: find a contract killer before the cops do. Problem is, the killer might be an officer.

Luckily, hot cop Nick has started 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 the tempting detective), Finlay and Vero have the perfect cover-up to sleuth out the real criminal and free themselves from the mob's clutches—all the while dodging spies, confronting Vero's past, and juggling the daily trials of parenthood.

A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books.

Title: Great series for vacation reading!
Review: I am not an avid reader, but I good hooked on this series. It's fun, whitty, and just an all around an enjoyable and easy read. I live in the Northern Virginia area. When I read the first Findley Donovan book, it made reference to so many places I know and frequently visit. While fiction, the stage is real, which brought a fun aspect to the read. Definitely recommend if you're looking for something light and enjoyable.If you are looking for serious, realistic, and anything that could depict reality; this is not for you 🙂

Title: another entertaining read!
Review: Rounding up to 4 but honestly feel like I didn’t give the first part of this book a fair chance because I wasn’t reading consistently at all so was having a hard time getting into it. Once I finally got back into reading mode, I flew through the second half. Just like the first 2 of the series, this book was a little ridiculous and unrealistic at times, but still very entertaining! This one in particular kept me on my toes and had several twists I didn’t see coming. It was funny and suspenseful and also had a little more romance in this one. At the beginning of this book I thought I might be done with the series, but now I’m back into it and after the ending, I’m eager to see what happens next!

Title: Not so sure about this one.
Review: This is the third book in the series and all of the characters are here. We find out a little more about Vero and this time the action takes place at a citizens police academy. It felt a little more contrived and a little tired but it ends with a bang. On to book 4!

Title: all the twists and turns
Review: I liked this 3rd installment of these characters better than the previous two. Never a dull moment when these two are involved with more and more backstory revealed with each book/chapter. Can’t wait to see what they’re up to in book 4.

Title: Absurd and entertaining!
Review: This series is nothing short of ridiculous, but it is super entertaining. As usual, Finlay and Vero get themselves into all sorts of trouble while trying to crack a mystery. The mob is bearing down on them, and they have a couple of close calls. It’s a really fun book, and I recommend it if you enjoy a good mystery with a dash of absurdity and lovable characters.
