I seem to be reading the third book in several series this month! The latest is Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun (#1,130) by Elle Cosimano. Finlay is still trying to get out from under the thumb of Russian crime tsar Feliks Zhirov by disposing of the tell-tale Aston Martin he saddled her with, and simultaneously finding enough money for her live-in nanny to escape the clutches of an Atlantic City mobster. Vero is into him for a cool quarter million dollars. In other words, nothing much has changed from the previous book!
Feliks has given Finlay the assignment of identifying an assassin-for-hire who goes by the name Easy Clean. Finlay and Vero have narrowed the field down to him being a cop. But which cop? What better way to find out and stay out of Felik's range than to enroll in the week-long Citizens Police Academy? Well, it makes sense to them, and provides the reader with a series of hilarious (and dangerous) mis-adventures. Will Finlay ever get up the courage to admit to hot cop Nick that she has feelings for him? Will she ever be able to get her ex-husband Steve out of her life? (But definitely not the kids' lives!) And why is Vero getting so deeply invested in her role as a pseudo cop? The action never stops, and neither does Finlay! You can just see where the next book in the series is going, and I, for one, can't wait!
Since the action does pick right up from the previous two books, don't make the mistake of trying to get into the Finlay Donovan series by starting with Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun; nothing will make sense to you.
