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.
FINLAY DONOVAN JUMPS THE GUN

This might be one of my favorite “thriller” series I’ve ever read. I have so much fun with it and allow myself to relax and stop being critical and just enjoy my favorite hobby- reading.
In the Finlay Donovan series, we’re following Finlay. Finlay is a writer, who is recently divorced with two young children. We meet her when she has writer’s block, and her editor is on her case for her next book. As the novel proceeds Finlay goes through a series of mishaps with her friend Vero who follows her around during all of her hijinks.
In this book, the third installment, we meet up with Finlay and Vero again. They’re up to their old tricks and Finlay’s got another book due. Can they pull everything off that they have planned, and can Finlay finish her book?
Only time will tell.
I love this series for a few different reasons. I am glad to say that I enjoyed this installment better than the second. I was so sad to not have enjoyed (KNOCKS EM DEAD) as much as (KILLING IT). But this one turned the minivan around and I cannot wait for their next adventures…fingers crossed.
I recommend this book and this series to all readers. It has helped to rejuvenate my love of reading and remind me that it’s ok to smile every once in a while and enjoy what I’m reading.
Thanks to Netgalley, St. Martin’s Press, and Minotaur Books for the advanced copy!
This one comes out January 31, 2023!
FINLAY DONOVAN JUMPS THE GUN…⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
