Thank you NetGalley and MacMillan Audio for allowing me access this new Elle Cosimano novel on audiobook.

This is another solid instalment of the Finlay Donovan series and these, for me - have been consistent 4 stars. These novels absolutely are a blast and this one isn’t different.

Finlay is in trouble AGAIN, and the stakes are high AGAIN. Mom, author Finlay Donovan needs to do a job, and for that, she and her live-in-nanny/accountant Vero must get involved with a Police Academy in order to get right with the Russian Mob. This is fast paced, funny and surprising. In addition, the characters are all so interesting and you get attached to them.

In terms of the audiobook, I must say that Angela Dawe is spot on and electric in her narration of this series. She delivers Finlay’s voice and makes her come alive.

Overall, I absolutely recommend this novel - but keep in mind that you must start with the first in order to understand the progression of the story.

Extra note: suspend your disbelief for these books, alright. Go with the flow and you’ll have fun.

Of course it ended on a cliffhanger! But this one was definitely worth the wait! Vero has more secrets. Russian mafia hitman are blackmailing Finlay and Steven is being more suspicious than ever!

Reasons I Recommend:

1) Finding out who EasyClean is quite the mystery and Cosimano keeps you guessing

2) Finally an answer in Finlay’s relationship (and yes I agree Sylvia, more sexy cop time please) and

3) It wraps up the last two books well while still leaving you with more questions and more mysteries!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

PS — Steven is a douche.
