Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun
by Elle Cosimano
Oh my, this series is a hoot. But it absolutely has to be read in order or you will not know what's going on and will miss half the jokes. In the last book, Finlay and Vera crashed a very (very very very) expensive car in their pursuit of justice, and the local Russian mob kingpin bought it for them, saving their bacon and is now owed a favor by them. He wants them to find out who the hitman "EasyClean" is ASAP. Unfortunately, all evidence points to a cop. So when openings at the Citizen's Police Academy become available, Finlay and Vera sign up for a week of being surrounded by all the cops most likely to be involved. And run by everyone's favorite hot detective Nick. Chaos, naturally, ensues. Lots and lots of glorious chaos.
The 2nd in the series was a little uneven, but this one is 5-star all the way, nothing but marvelous fun. Finlay has her usual disasters, but her brain is also functioning (some very clever bits in here). The peripheral characters are true to form, and the action is wild, and oddly believable. As I have said before, Cosimano is a master of the coincidence, well-timed and usually totally unexpected. Bliss. So very much fun.
