Fun and outrageous.  If you’re looking for a break from reality, Finlay delivers yet again.  

 

Full of implausible hijinks, Finlay and Vero team up to stave off a contract killing on Steven in a way that made me roll my eyes (in a good sense) and laugh out loud at the same time.  The shenanigans are completely over the top, but that’s exactly what makes Finlay Donovan so entertaining.  I particularly enjoyed the spotlight on the friendship between Fin and Vero in this installment.  But the men certainly aren’t to be overlooked. 🔥 (I feel strong Stephanie Plum vibes, and I’m here for it.)

 

I’ve enjoyed both Finlay Donovan books, but I think this one is my favorite of the two.  And I’m certainly looking forward to the next installment!    

This is a pure escapist read that I flew through, thoroughly enjoying every ridiculous plot point and laughing all the way.   

 

I listened to this one on audio, and I really enjoyed Angela Dawe’s narration.  It added a flair to the book that I didn’t feel in reading the print copy of the first book in this series.

 

Many thanks to @ellecosimano @smp @minotaur @macmillanaudio for a #gifted copy of this book to read and review.
