Summary:
From New York Times bestseller and Edgar-Award nominee Elle Cosimano, comes Finlay Donovan Digs Her Own Grave—the hugely anticipated next installment in the fan-favorite Finlay Donovan series.
Finlay Donovan may have skeletons in her closet . . . but at least there’s not a body in her backyard.
Finlay Donovan and her nanny/partner-in-crime, Vero, have not always gotten along with Finlay’s elderly neighbor, Mrs. Haggerty, the community busybody and president of the neighborhood watch. But when a dead body is discovered in her backyard, Mrs. Haggerty needs their help. At first a suspect, Mrs. Haggerty is cleared by the police, but her house remains an active crime scene. She has nowhere to go . . . except Finlay’s house, right across the street.
Finlay and Vero have no interest in getting involved in another murder case—or sacrificing either of their bedrooms. After all, they’ve dealt with enough murders over the last four months to last a lifetime and they both would much rather share their beds with someone else.
My thoughts:
This is the 5th book in the Finlay Donovan series and I cannot tell you how much I love this series! These books are just such fun, entertaining reads – I laugh so much as I make my way through them. They really are a delight to read and I cannot recommend them enough! Finlay and her sidekick, Vero are my favorite characters and I love the shenanigans they find themselves involved in.
In this latest book, which might be the best one yet, we start off in the principal’s office with Finlay’s daughter…& that is only the beginning of what is to come. Vero really shines in this book, but it is the neighbor, Mrs. Haggerty, who turns out to be quite the surprise!
I loved this installment so much and I cannot wait to see what happens next, especially with the way this one ended! I need book 6 ASAP!!!
Audio thoughts:
Angela Dawe returns to narrate this one & her consistency with the voices is like reuniting with friends. I loved listening to this one and I hope Angela is back to narrate the next one, too!
