I was so excited to get to read Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun after really enjoying the first two books in the series. Read on for a more detailed review, but be careful- it may contain spoilers if you haven't read the first two books in this incredibly fun series by Elle Cosimano!

In this third installment, Finlay is finally ready to make some decisions about her love life and her future, but she is still grappling with mysteries left unsolved at the end of book two. Who is Easy Clean? Why were they out for her ex-husband Steven? As always, writing is not coming as easily as Finlay would like and her editor is on her back because her most recent draft is not up to snuff. Namely, it's not spicy enough. 

Finlay and Vero get into some hilarious hijinks including going to a citizen's police camp to try to get information for their own purposes. We learn more about Vero's past. and their friendship continues to grow. There is also more steam in this book and it's quite enjoyable! I love how Cosimano makes Finlay's writing mirror her life, it's fun and quirky. 

Like the second book was different from the first, this third in the series also has it's own feel. There's a significant focus on Finlay's mental state and her presence of mind is more clear and focused than ever. I think the mystery was really well done in this installment and you can bet that I'll be in line ready for book 4! Thank you to NetGalley and MacMillan Audio for the ALC in exchange for my honest review.
