Finlay Donovan's life is such a tangled web! This second book in the series is a fast-moving murder-for-hire caper with fast cars and even faster men (I have no idea what I mean by that lol except that Julian and Nick have both fallen fast for Finn). Some suspension of disbelief is obviously required, but it was still entertaining and ultimately wrapped up nicely with a setup for book three. I would almost class it a "cozy thriller"—there's life-threatening action on-page, but the majority of the plot is Finn and Vero just living their complicated lives.

I find this series to be a better version of the Stephanie Plum books and certainly better than the latest few.
Finlay is hilarious and I love that Vero is getting more depth as is Steven.
I can't wait to see where things go with the "hot cop" LOL aka Nick. I have to say if my life was that nuts I'd turn it into a book too!
Overall this book was really fun and I'd say better than the first. I recommend these books to anyone who enjoys funny mysteries with a dash of romance.

I thought this was plenty of fun despite being less "silly" than the first book. The stakes are astronomical by the end so I can only imagine the craziness that will ensue in the next installment. Finlay and Vero are basically Dumb and Dumber, though. 💀 All they do is bury each other in deeper shit, which fuels the comedy but can get exasperating after a while (I had to laugh at Finlay entrusting all her money to Vero and then barely caring when it all got lost. Girl, what the hell?). I still don't care about the romance.
I recommend the audiobook!
