Finlay Donovan Knocks 'Em Dead | 
pickI‘m really enjoying this series! Totally outlandish, and so fun. This time, Finlay‘s trying to keep her ex-husband from being murdered, figure out what‘s going on with Vero, and digs a little deeper into her feelings toward Officer Nick and Law Student Julian.
so-soVera is still my favorite, but I also like Finlay and how she finds a solution to every imaginable (and unimaginable) situation.
Somehow this felt more chaotic and plotless than the first book. And I hadn't as much fun as I had with the first book.

pickThis sequel was even more full of entertaining action than the first book and I am continuing this series.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️ A palate-cleansing kind of series. And I mean that as a compliment! The author-turned -accidental-hit-woman and her snarky sidekick are back at it. This time, someone wants her awful ex-husband dead. It‘s funny.
pickI absolutely love the lead characters in this book. I‘m going to immediately read the next one in the series because I can‘t get enough of Finlay and Vero. Brilliant women duo that are funny, supportive and smart. The mystery is great too. I highly recommend this series. It leaves you wanting more.
pickBook 2 in the Finlay Donovan series. This time Finlay discovers someone wants to kill her ex-husband and she tries to find out who. This series is fun to read and the characters are great. Except for Steve the ex-husband. I would love to get rid of him. I really enjoy reading this and am excited for the next book in the series.
pickI wasn't sure I was gong to like this as much as the first book, but it was just as macap and zany. Someone wants Finlay's ex-husband Steven dead, and she tries to figure out who it is so she can keep him alive and keep her kids safe.

These books make me laugh out loud!!!
pickAnother glimpse into Finlay's out of control dumpster fire life. I love the mess but this one didn't quite live up to the promise of the first one and I think it's because no one expected her to kill anyone? Still this was great on audio and I had a hard time hitting stop at the end of my commute.
pickSecond book in this trilogy. A little bit slow but again, it has absurd unrealistic funny situations. Ready for book 3 next month. Finlay and Vero are a peculiar dynamic amateur sleuth duo☺️Again, I laughed out loud with this one.

pickNot quite as great as the first book in the series but still a lot of fun. This time around Finlay is trying to find out who wants to put a hit out on her ex husband and things quickly get more complicated when a hit man accepts the job, her ex refuses to see that there is a threat, two men are confusing the heck out of her, and her agent still expects her next book.

pickThis was my last book I finished in March, #bookspin.
I listened to it over audio while sitting with a little one with a stomach bug & watching Elsa for the millionth time. It was a quick, easy, fun listen. I‘m not much of a fiction reader but I‘ve enjoyed listening to the Finlay Donovan series.
pickA great sequel to the first book.
Read for reading challenges.
4.75/5
pickI‘m quite delighted with this lite crime series. It‘s fun with a great cast of characters, snappy witty banter and solid mysteries that aren‘t overly complicated. Thanks for introducing me to Finlay @MallenNC Audio read by Angela Dawe is FABULOUS 🙌🏻🎧
pickSecond book was pretty good as well, though her ex husband was annoying at times lol. Can‘t wait to read the 3rd. Does anyone know how many books are planned for this series ?
pickThis is such a fun series. I liked this one just as much as the first. I think Vero, Findlay‘s nanny and sidekick, is my favorite. My one criticism is that Finlay‘s ex husband is even more of a jerk in this one and I was really rooting against him. That could be toned down a little and it wouldn‘t hurt the dynamic.
Another current read of mine. Liked the first one so gonna check out the next 2
pickBook 2 in the series. Not as Lol as book 1 but still funny, enjoyable, and finished it in one day. Finlay is trying to figure out who has a hit out on her ex, and surprisingly, it's not her. As usual, things don't go as planned, and she finds herself in hot water. If someone doesn't make these into a tv show or movie..i may riot.
pickFinlay and her partner in crime, Vero, are once again pulled into a mystery while trying to save her ex husband from being murdered. All while trying to write her next book, keep her children safe and resist hot cop Nick. Another fun installment in this series. Looking forward to the next one!
pickEdgar and I finished book 2 of the Finlay Donovan series this evening. It was a riot! Looking forward to the next installment of the series.
pickIt‘s only book two, but I love this series so much. It‘s funny, fast paced, and pure joy (with a few bodies thrown in).
pickShenanigans ensue once again as Finlay and Vero set out to solve another mystery. Suspend your sense of reality just a tad and enjoy the high jinx!
The hook at the end of Book 1 made me want to read book 2. The hook in Book 2, makes me want to read Book 3.
Narrator Angela Dawe does a very good job voicing the audiobook.
pickI was really dubious about this one going in - the set up for it at the end of Finlay Donovan is Killing It sounded absolutely ridiculous. But with a third out this month and me trying to make my audio book goal in 2022, I turned this on. The story was not as ridiculous as I thought and the humour was as good as the first! Putting the third on hold now!
pickI loved this book. I love the characters. The plot is great I really was surprised at the end. But most importantly is how funny these characters and the situations that they get into are! I am impatiently waiting for the 3rd book to come out.
pickThis is the second installment of the Finlay Donovan series. Much of the storyline harkens back to events of the first book which I read about 6 months ago so I did have to cast my memory back a bit. However it was a fun, fast read and I enjoyed revisiting these characters and their zany escapades.
pickEnjoyed the second installment of this fun new cozy mystery series. This book really reminded me of the Stephanie Plum capers - especially the Ranger / Morelli ( team Ranger by the way) vibe. Definitely looking forward to the next one 👍👍💚🐉
pickLiked this installment even more than the first as already knowing the key characters and relationships made it easier to lean into the shenanigans and fully enjoy this absurd and bumpy ride.
Looking forward to the next one.
pick4⭐️ I have really enjoyed listening to this series on audiobook. They are laugh out loud funny to me and a great “easy” read. I think I actually liked this book better than the first one. Now that I know the characters, I find myself just falling into the story.
pickThis single mom in the middle of a new divorce turned detective mystery sequel is just as entertaining and attention grappling as the first… if not more so. Finlay and her babysitter turned partner keep the pages turning. And if they didn‘t hold your interest the steamy relationship with the cop and law student will. Very fun book.
…some stories had a way of getting stuck inside our heads. Usually, because we were afraid of what those stories revealed about us—our fears and our inadequacies, our mistakes and our failures. Sometimes, those stories needed a little nudging to come out 🕶
pickY‘all if you‘re not reading this series you need to. Murder, mystery and legitimate laugh out loud moments. Finlay, her kids, Vero and Det. Nick Anthony are all back! Looking for a fun light read with murder and mayhem pick up this and the first book! #springread #mayreadinglist
We would not have a story at all if Finlay and Vero would just report things to the cops instead of doing ridiculous things! They do make me laugh though. #audiowalk
Finlay Donovan is Killing It ended in such a way that I‘m really surprised I didn‘t start the sequel immediately. Since I needed a break from the Cork O‘Connor books, though, the 2nd book is my new walking book. Two chapters in, and I‘m really enjoying it. #audiowalk. Fergus was a needy boy today.
pickI love this series! In this installment, someone has put a hit out on Steven a Finlay is going to try to prevent it from happening, if only for her kids. These books have so much going for them: good mystery plots, awesome characters, and great humor. If you love mysteries with good wit, definitely read these books!
“Christopher was dead.”
Wait, what?? Excited to start this one.

pickI almost forgot how much a hated Steven when I started reading this book. He‘s so infuriating. Also, was not really expecting that ending. I can‘t wait for the next one.
Someone puts a hit out on Steven, so Fin is nervous about letting her kids stay with him alone. He gets attacked, his office catches fire and a dead body is discovered. I really like Nick. Vero is up to something but we don‘t really find up much more of her past.
pick#AwesomeApril #Readathon @Andrew65 book 3 complete
This book wasn't planned, but I needed a light and funny palate cleanser after some serious books and Finlay Donovan fit the bill. It did not disappoint and I feel better.
I‘ve passed my third #owlsreadingchallenge subject!! These were some truly great picks.
The tagged book was less of a thrill for me than the first Finlay Donovan book, but still enjoyable.
ARITHMANCY:
🌟 Arithmancy: A book with a number on the cover - Long Way Down
🌟 Golden trio: A book in a series - Finlay Donovan Book 2
🌟 Mad Eye Moody: A book with multiple points of view - Children of Blood and Bone
pickThis second book in this mystery series is completely ridiculous and still very fun. Finlay and Vero once again get caught up in a crime and chaos ensues. I did not love the Vero subplot - it felt like a setup for the next book, but took away from the action. Still a very fun read, and great on audiobook. 4⭐️
