Finlay Donovan Knocks 'Em Dead by Elle Cosimano
4.0
This wasn't as good as the first one but I am enjoying Finlay's amateur sleuthing. She is still a hot mess but in the best way. I love her and Vero's friendship.
Can we take a moment and talk about Angela Dawe's narration of this series?? The way she can do different characters and accents is incredible!! Five stars to Angela!

Beautiful Ugly by Alice Feeney
- Loveable characters? No
2.0
Beautiful Ugly had potential, but it missed the mark for me. The synopsis teased a thrilling missing-person mystery, but the story felt scattered, weighed down by bizarre side plots and unlikable characters. Abby and Grady, in particular, were frustrating—therapy and communication could’ve worked wonders. Even the island’s supporting cast had their own icks, making it hard to care about anyone.
On the bright side, the audiobook production was solid, with immersive sound effects. And Columbo, the dog, was a delightful bright spot in an otherwise odd story—definitely a good dog surrounded by weirdos.
Ultimately, this one wasn’t for me, but Columbo deserved better!
