Finlay Donovan Digs Her Own Grave by Elle Cosimano
4.5
This was exactly what I needed to re-engage with the series!
I have to admit that after Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice, I did not plan on continuing. The first arc of the series was done, and the last couple of books were not quite as good as the first two for me.
But the last couple of weeks have been some of the worst of my life, and what I was craving was a romp of a book to help distract me. The timing just worked out that as I was looking for something lighthearted to read, an advance copy popped up almost immediately. I figured I had nothing to lose - my expectations were low and I just needed something to take my mind off of the complete nightmare of reality. I am so glad I dove in!
Finlay's romantic relationship starts to get more serious, Vero is as hilarious as ever, the cast of characters is great, the mystery is interesting and has a satisfying resolution, and it's fun to piece things together along the way. I'm now sucked back in enough that I have to keep reading to see what happens next. Well done, Cosimano!
This is probably not where you want to start if you haven't read any of the others simply because the relationships are now quite established, but you can follow most of what's happening without any prior knowledge. Plus, the relevant plot points from previous books (that I absolutely had forgotten) are summarized throughout this one.
If you have enjoyed the series up to this point, even if you were thinking of dipping out as I was, I definitely recommend Finlay Donovan Digs Her Own Grave.
