Publisher's Summary

"Narrator Angela Dawe is adept at providing distinct voices for Finlay; her somewhat shady sidekick, Vero; and the cast of quirky characters, good and evil, who come and go."—AudioFile Magazine

"Once again, much credit goes to narrator Angela Dawe for giving voice to our protagonist and making the audiobook a blast to listen to..."—Bibliosanctum

From USA Today bestseller and Edgar Award nominee Elle Cosimano, comes Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun—the hilarious and heart-pounding next installment in the beloved Finlay Donovan series.

"Fresh, heartfelt and witty, Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun is a twisty page-turner, and its relatable heroine Finlay Donovan is irresistible!"—Janet Evanovich, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Stephanie Plum series

Dating. Diapers. And dodging bullets. Who said single moms can't have fun?

Finlay Donovan has been in messes before—after all, she's an author and single mom who's a pro at getting out bloodstains for rather unexpected reasons—but none quite like this. After she and her nanny/partner-in-crime Vero accidentally destroyed a luxury car that they may have "borrowed" in the process of saving the life of Finlay's ex-husband, the Russian mob got her out of debt. But now Finlay owes them.

Still running the show from behind bars, mob boss Feliks has a task for Finlay: find a contract killer before the cops do. Problem is, the killer might be an officer.

Luckily, hot cop Nick has started up a citizen's police academy, and combined pressure from Finlay's looming book deadline and Feliks is enough to convince Finlay and Vero to get involved. Through firearm training and forensic classes (and some hands-on research with the tempting detective), Finlay and Vero have the perfect cover-up to sleuth out the real criminal and free themselves from the mob's clutches—all the while dodging spies, confronting Vero's past, and juggling the daily trials of parenthood.

A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books.

Amazing read

I fell in love with the first book and immediately bought the second as an audio book. As a single mom of two with a pain for an ex husband.. it was hilarious and relatable - with the perfect mix of murder mystery.

Another Winner

Best yet, Elle keeps coming back with more crazy twists and hilarious moments. Throughout the series the author has been cutting her teeth; and they are getting sharp!
Angel kills it with her cadence and nuisances, she really is an enjoyable narrator. Her accents are pretty spot on, although her male voices start to sound the same.
Looking forward to the next one, for sure.

I genuinely cannot get enough!!

These books just keep getting better. Such an easy read with gasping plot twists with every page turn. I hate that I have to wait for the next book to know what happens and what craziness Finlay gets herself into next.
