The misadventures of Finlay and Vero continue to make for a humorous, lighthearted read. However, this book felt like it was a bit more filler than the previous two and the pace felt a bit slow in the middle.

Book three continues with the non-stop craziness you can expect from a Finlay Donovan book. Once again, our witty heroine finds herself in trouble, this time with an imprisoned Russian mobster. Finlay and Vero end up attending a police academy camp, and chaos ensues. These two always seem to end up getting themselves into trouble in the zaniest ways. While fun and entertaining, this installment felt a little bit like filler and didn't seem to progress the overall story as much as other stories. That being said, I still enjoyed it and am here for the whole ride.

Seriously...how does she KEEP herself in so much trouble?! Vera and Finlay just go all out every time and it's hilarious and stressful. I can't wait to see what these ladies get up to next time.
The first two were more fun. This one was disjointed and it’s getting old.

Finlay and Vero bring the joy to cozy mysteries with their all crazy antics. The ladies are back in this bingeable story…and now in debt to the mob. Their shenanigans take them to the police academy trying to root out the mole from within. The hot policeman, Nick, makes his appearance again, as does the desperate ex-husband. Being a boy mom myself, I found myself laughing out loud at the scenes with Zach in them-he almost stole the show in this book! The lead-up to this next adventure was again present and makes me look forward to the fourth book in the series. Thank you to the author and publisher, SMP|Minotaur Books for the electronic copy.
I think Finlay and Vero's (mis)adventures are starting to lose their charm. I felt like for so much of the book, the story was just dragging and nothing really happened. The second half picked up a bit, but I'm struggling to remember any part I particularly liked. Yet, there's another cliffhanger at the end, and there's something intriguing enough that I will still pick up the next one.
