Finlay Donovan Digs Her Own Grave by Elle Cosimano
4.5
4.5 stars.
Finlay, and her nanny and partner in crime, Vero, haven’t always gotten along with Finlay’s neighbor, Mrs. Haggerty. When a dead body is discovered in Mrs. Haggerty’s backyard, she’s the first suspect. Once she is cleared, her house remains an active crime scene, leaving her with nowhere to go… except Finlay’s house, right across the street.
FINLAY DONOVAN DIGS HER OWN GRAVE is such a fun addition to the Finlay Donovan series. It picks up right where book 4, Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice, left off, making this a must to read the series in order.
I loved catching up to the usual hi-jinx that Finlay and Vero find themselves in, and was very eager to find out what happened after book 4 ends. This book is most reminiscent of book one, which I wholly loved, and feels like the series has come full circle in terms of vibes. The writing style is clever, gripping, and wholly bingeable.
I loved the continuous development of relationships between each of the key characters, but particularly for Nick and Finlay. I also loved the cameo of characters from previous books popping back up here, most notably Cam. Mrs. Haggerty is a hoot and I simultaneously loved and hated every scene she is featured in.
The plot is creative, fast-paced, and as usual, requires a slight pause of disbelief. I loved the many twists and turns as Finlay and Vero investigate the murder from across the street. I really enjoyed this read and adored the epilogue – can’t wait to see what’s next for Finlay and Vero!
I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher, Minotaur Books, of this advanced digital copy for the opportunity to read this novel in exchange for an honest review! All opinions expressed are my own.
