Elle Cosimano

If you read any book in Elle Cosimano’s Finlay Donovan’s series you expect a certain level of hijinks and insanity. This time things are beyond crazy but hilarious nonetheless. Hitmen are getting squashed, Vero’s boyfriend is missing and in real trouble, Findlay’s ex-husband is messing things up as usual, her children border on out of control, her mother has left her father, Finlay’s love interest is snuggled a little too close on this escapade and her sister is getting deeper involved with a semi-colleague. Toss it all together and throw it up in the air and watch it land in a casino, a seedy motel, a bathtub containing decomposing bodies - oh yeah it is a wild ride and Finlay Donovan is in the middle of it all.

Fun, fast, down and dirty and more fun. Where are we going next Finlay? Can’t wait. Many thanks to Minotaur Books and NetGalley for a copy.… (altro)

This picks up immediately after Finlay and Vero return from the citizen's police academy adventure. They decide to head to Atlantic City immediately to try to erase Vero's debt and find a fancy car. The road is never easy, and they are joined by Finlay's ex, the kids and even Finlay's mom, under the guise of a girls' weekend with Steven watching the kids. It is another fun fun read as the two somehow manage to have time to sleuth without being found out. This series hits so many fun notes of the genre, all while delivering humor even better than the early Plum books.… (altro)
