Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun is the third book in the Finlay Donovan series which follows Finlay who is a recently single mother who accidentally is pulled into a plot to contract kill someones husband when the wife over hears her discussing her next romantic suspense book at a Panera.
I thought this was a good addition to the series. I really like the fact that this series follows closely on the heels of how the last book ended. I also like that, at the beginning of each book, there's something funny that happens right off the bat. I really like Finlay as a character and the cast of characters that surround her. I find them so funny and the story is always so engaging.
This one kept me guessing on who was responsible for everything that was going on. I still hadn't guessed it by the time it was revealed and I really enjoyed that.
Overall, I would say this is a pretty great series and if you want to pick it up, I would recommend giving this series as go.

Favorite of the series so far. Love all of the intertwined pieces and storylines. They’re such fun, fast reads. Love Cosimano’s writing style and humor. Is the whole thing a bit silly and very unlikely? Of course! But that’s what makes it more interesting and entertaining.
Novella and one more book before I have to wait for the next installment in March.

Fun series. Nothing too deep, a bit predictable, definitely requires some suspension of reality. Will read the next in the series.

Following on from Finlay’s last adventure in which she barely escaped the local Russian mob, this time she’s trying to pay Feliks off, spice up her novel and navigate her love life! This is book 3 in the series.
Another fun dark comedy which needs to be read after book 2. Can’t wait to read the next one!

This is the third book in the series, and this one covered just over a week of time, with mysteries still mostly stemming from the original one in the first book. There are a lot of characters and subplots to track, but even though it’s been several months since I read the last book, I was able to pick up the threads to continue with this one (thank you, author!)
The characters are fantastic, and I especially enjoyed Finlay and Vero’s friendship. Having most of the story set at the citizens’ police academy made for some interesting interactions and plot lines. I’ll be looking forward to the next book in the series.
