My least favorite of the three. The books are starting to feel repetitive and not as funny. Still enjoyed but probably won’t continue

This was so well written. I was engrossed from the first page and it ticked all the boxes of my expectations. The character development was excellent. I would definitely recommend to others, a must read!

I love this series with all my heart but I don't see how it's going to be dragged out more. Where I thought this could have been a great trilogy I just sometimes wonder if continuing this story would be as good. But regardless I love the friendship development between Finlay and Vero. I think them being friends is just so natural and they love each other. Im really here for the drama so give me more!!!!

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC of Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun, while I like the main character, this ultimately was incredibly repetitive and lacked the spark of the first two.

I think this series is so fun, but this book was definitely my least favorite so far. The premise of these books is ridiculous, which is why they're so entertaining. But this one required me to suspend belief a little too much and I just couldn't do it. I'll probably still pick up book four, but I'm hoping we get back to the magic of book one.

Sadly I just found this repetitive of the first 2 books of the series. I loved the first book in the series and honestly I wish it was a stand alone. I find the whole plot interesting but just didn't love it.

Today! Today is the day I finally catch up on Netgalley Reviews. I really am ashamed how many months I am behind on some of them. But, here's the thing I say time and time again... There are some books that I talk about all the time that I assumed I've written a review about, until I check my handy dandy review journal and realize I haven't. *hangs head in shame*

Thank you @macmillan.audio for the listening + @netgalley copy! This book is narrated by Angela Dawe and she was able to do distinctive voices for all the characters; especially how I picture Vero to be.

Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun is the third book in the Finlay Donovan series. You'll definitely want to read the first two before you pick this one up. In this book Finlay is basically trying to uncover the identity of Easy-Clean, a contract killer who solicits jobs through an online forum. Scratch that, she is being forced by the Russian Mob. When Finlay thinks the killer might be a cop, her and her nanny, Vero, spend a week at Citizen's Police Academy training to scope things out.

Rating: 3.5 rounded to 4 stars. This book felt like a filler book too me. Sure we had Finlay and Vero's usual antics, (and who doesn't love that!) but it didn't have the same feel with everything happening at the Police Academy. It was like they were trapped! I'm glad the love triangle between the cop and lawyer was decided. Will I read the next book? You betcha!

Finlay Donovan is back for the 3rd installment of her quirky adventures with the mob, murder and romance. The outlandish episodes had me laughing out loud. Completely unpredictable and enjoyable.

Finlay and Vero are back at it - this time they've gotten themselves ensconced at the Police Academy while trying to simultaneously figure out who exactly IS EasyClean before Felix decides their partnership is not worth his time or his patience.

This installment of the Finaly Donovan series was as enjoyable as the first two! I did find, however, that some of their hijinks this time relied on suspension of disbelief a lot more than previous installments. That being said, it was still very enjoyable and the banter between Vero and Finlay is always just ::chef's kiss::

This was another funny installment to this story. Finlay and Vero’s banter and Vero’s snark at Nick and Stephen continue to crack me up. Loved that there was more romantic connection with my chosen pick for Finlay. I really like how the author nicely wraps up the story but leaves enough of a cliffhanger to make you want to get into the next book.

I enjoyed the first two books a bit better than this. It wasn't bad, it just didn't grasp my attention like the other two.

Finlay and Vero are at it again! This time around they find themselves at a cop boot camp searching for the identity of Easy Clean.

I enjoyed this book and it was super fun on audio, but it was least favorite of the series! I loved at the numerous funny moments and crazy scenarios — but this book was the most far fetched of the series and maybe just a tad bit too unbelievable. We spend basically the entire book at the police academy and I wanted them to move around a bit more! This was definitely more of a “filler” book but I’m glad for the ride!

We are of course left on another cliff hanger but I’m hoping to getting a lot more of Vero in the next installment!

Elle Cosimano has done it again with her 3rd installment of Finlay Donovan’s shenanigans! Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun picks up with Finlay and her PIC, Vero, signing up for Nick’s citizens’ police academy for the some help with her writing. As this book unfolds you learn that one of officers in the police department may just be a bit crooked but can they piece it together before it costs them their lives? A love interest for Vero definitely peaked my interest in this book. Now I am counting down the days for book 4. *Thank you NetGalley, Elle Cosimano, St. Martin’s Press, and Minotaur Books for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my thoughts.*

You know those books that you seem to read at just the right time? That was this most recent Finlay Donovan for me! I think I’m in the minority here, at least when looking at Goodreads ratings, but I think I liked this third installment of Finlay Donovan the most. There were the classic hijinks of Finlay and Vero, some more backstory for our characters, and of course some love intrigue to keep things interesting.

Also, thank you to @netgalley for the #gifted ebook version of this one, so that I could dive into reading before my library hold came in :)

This hilarious and not in any way realistic (mom and nanny taking on the Russian mob) story is bingeable, funny, and perfect for fans of cozy mysteries. I’m continually amazed that Cosimano continues to find ways for Finlay and Vero to get into trouble without going to jail haha, but that is a lot of the fun. For fans of the first two books, this third installment offers the same chaos, crime, and cops as the others. Enjoy!

I absolutely adored this book. The Finlay Donovan series is one of my all-time favourites, and I love returning to this world every time I pick up the next book.

3,5 Rounded Up. I think these books are very fun - however I find them to be a bit too silly at times. That being said, my mother loves them and I love being able to read them and talk to her about them so I will continue to read this series!

Love Finlay Donovan! This was a great read and addition to the series. Thank you so much for sending it to read and review!

Once again, the shenanigans that Finlay and Vero get into are ridiculous and unbelievable. Sometimes they are laugh-out-loud funny and other times, I found myself rolling my eyes. What missed for me in this one, is the story continuation from the previous books. Having read the previous books, it seemed to be a duplicate of the stories. However, if you hadn’t read the previous books I can see being very lost.

I am thinking, unless the next story is drastically different in plot and/or antagonist, that I am breaking up with Finlay and Vero.

'Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun: A Novel' by Elle Cosimano is the third in a series. You can read it out of order but I highly recommend you start with number one as they are all so so so good! Plus, you'll get better context of the characters. Just as the first two, Finaly is back and is still a bit of a mess (but in the best way possible). Love this series and characters.

I was so happy to be back in Finlay’s orbit, along with Vero and the other fun characters of the Finlay Donovan series. Like the previous books, this one has nonstop action, and these characters were in almost constant peril. Along with the impending danger is the trademark humor that always makes me laugh out loud when I’m around these characters.

The storyline is a bit over the top, and in my opinion, that is what makes this book and series so good. If you’re one that likes your books realistic and believable, this may not be for you. But, if you just want some fun and entertainment, you can’t get much better than the Finlay Donovan series.
