Welcome to Litsy!

This goofy series of five books (so far) is just mindless fun to read. I believe these dead bodies happen to this cast of characters in just 4 short months. I‘ve read the books in order within months of release but the recap written into each new book serves as a sufficient key to unlock that dark little corner in my brain I seem to have reserved for this motley crew!

I think this may be my favorite of the series. There's a whole new depth to Mrs. Haggerty, finally some real honestly between Finlay and Nick, and plenty of shenanigans from everyone, including Finlay's kids. It's filled with lots of laugh-out-loud moments and I enjoyed every minute of it.

Love the Finlay Donovan series. As I was listening it was brought up that this whole series/story has taken place over a 4 month period. Which made me wonder if the author planned out the whole series in advance. Seems like there will be another Finlay book in the future. I was happy this Libby hold came through this morning since I had to drive back home from RI. I was able to listen to the whole book (9 hours) because of traffic & construction

Another good book in the series, wasn‘t my favourite but still enjoyable

Read for reading challenges

4/5

After the crazy OTT hijinks of the previous installment this felt like a nice lazy slice of life. There was still a mystery and a fair bit of hijinks but way more manageable. I also liked getting to know more about some side characters.

I finally got a chance to read the latest Finlay book and it did not disappoint. I love all these characters and the fun ways they keep getting involved with crimes. This one brings in Mrs. Haggerty, the nosey neighbor, even more. Can‘t wait for the next one.

I just adore this series and this is another fun installment! Finlay and Vero are so awesome, and let me just say, Mrs. Haggerty redeems herself in this one! If Cosimano keeps writing these books, I will keep reading them.

Another quick and funny listen in this series. The book has me laughing out loud but also excited to unravel the truth behind the mysteries. And see the romance evolve! Love learning more about Mrs. Haggerty, too!

This installment of the Finlay Donovan series was really fun and had some very satisfying moments. One of the better in the series! 4⭐️

4.25⭐
•On the one hand, I really loved this edition—Mrs. Haggerty stole the show with her hijinks—but on the other hand, I‘m wondering why Finlay & Co. can‘t catch a flipping breath already. We‘ve segued from one crime to another with no let-down. Is it her fate to always be fighting crime and injustice?
•Angela Dawe has become the voice of Finlay Donovan, which can be both a good and a not-so-good thing.

I just love this series so much.

And with the latest installment, I am also now a proud Mrs. Haggerty fan girl. An old busybody for sure, but also a bit of a badass.

A picture from Elle Cosimano‘s event tonight at my favorite indie bookstore, Quail Ridge Books. Let me tell you, she wants you to sign up for her newsletter.

I had fun at Quail Ridge Books listening to Elle Cosimano talk about the Findlay Donovan series. She was in conversation with author Esme Addison so I bought both books! Happy to attend with @OriginalCyn620

Went to see Elle Cosimano tonight at my local indie bookstore with @MallenNC … Elle was very funny! She had some good stories. Can‘t wait to read this one!

Another great Finlay installment. Tied up some loose ends and unraveled a few more. Enjoy!

I love this fun series! Picking up with the 4th book‘s cliffhanger, they‘ve returned from their Atlantic City adventure to a corpse uncovered in the one-woman neighborhood watch‘s yard. And when Finlay‘s ex falls under suspicion, it‘s in everyone‘s best interests if Finlay & Vero can quickly prove his innocence before the cops dig any deeper! Fun & with nosy Mrs. Haggerty stealing scenes, this is another quick read leaving me anxious for the 6th!

Another satisfying entry in the Finlay Donovan series. 4 🌟

Wishing I could play hooky from work! 🎧😁📚

Book 4 was my least favorite of the series, but this one (book5) was great. I had a really good time with this and enjoyed the progression of Finlay‘s relationship with Nick. The addition of Mrs. Haggerty to the house was a lot of fun, and I was glad to see Cam come back. This was a quick read for me.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc.

3.5 Stars • In this fifth installment in the series, Finlay Donovan and her nanny/partner-in-crime, Vero, deal with another murder mystery when a dead body is discovered in the backyard of their elderly neighbor, Mrs. Haggerty, the nosy president of the neighborhood watch. Mrs. Haggerty, initially a suspect, is cleared by the police but her house becomes an active crime scene, leading her to stay at Finlay's house across the street. ⬇️

Book scavenger hunt - grave - looking forward to continuing this series! #hauntedshelf @PuddleJumper #flerken
