AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

From New York Times bestseller Elle Cosimano, comes Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun—the hilarious and heart-pounding next installment in the beloved Finlay Donovan series.


"Fresh, heartfelt and witty, Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun is a twisty page-turner, and its relatable heroine Finlay Donovan is irresistible!" —Janet Evanovich

“I love Finlay Donovan so much I would 100% hide a dead body for her.”—Jessie Q. Sutanto

Dating. Diapers. And dodging bullets. Who said single moms can't have fun?

Finlay Donovan has been in messes before—after all, she's an author and single mom who’s a pro at getting out bloodstains for rather unexpected reasons—but none quite like this. She and her nanny/partner-in-crime Vero accidentally destroyed a luxury car that they “borrowed” in the process of saving Finlay’s ex-husband. The Russian mob handled her debt, but that means Finlay now owes them.

Still running the show from behind bars, mob boss Feliks has a task for Finlay: find a contract killer before the cops do. Problem is, the killer might be an officer. Luckily, hot cop Nick has started up a citizen’s police academy, so Finlay has the perfect cover-up to sleuth out the real criminal as she does some “research” for her new novel. Nick is more than happy to get close to Finlay, but he’s also getting dangerously close to the truth.

As Finlay and Vero dodge potential spies and juggle the daily trials of parenting, they can only hope they find the crooked cop before Feliks catches up with them—not to mention revealing Vero’s mysterious past, Nick’s growing interest in Finlay, and the threat of her looming book deadline.

Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun Reviews

3.5
“Love Heard that this one happens mostly in the police academy and I’m really excited about that, cool setting and nice change of scenery I love the police academy classes and training exercices, especially the role-play activities (fake crime scene and they have to do everything as if they were cops), it’s really cool, and I love that Vero and Finlay are investigating in that setting, it’s giving undercover I’m enjoying this one more than the second one Hard to put down, easy to Read for long periods, kept me entertained Loved the revelations in this one, loved the scene where Feliks shows up to the academy and asks Finlay to kill the person who they suspect of being EasyClean (Joey) (Chapter 30) Really love the action in this one, the negociation with armed criminals on roofs Loved getting to know the new characters and getting to know more from the characters from previous Books (cops like Wade, Samara, Roddy, Joey, Nick, etc.) I had a really fun time reading this Don’t love I feel like the storylines drag out a bit too long I was expecting each book to have a more distinct storyline”
