About this listen

"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.

Critic reviews

Editorial Review

Starting the year with Finlay and Vero again...
Last January, I finally decided to jump into the Bookstagram world—and was immediately recommended Finlay Donovan Is Killing It, which I proceeded to devour in one day. When Elle Cosimano announced that book 3 was scheduled for a January release, I started counting the days until my reunion with the hilarious characters that have made the series the hit that it is. Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun finds Finlay and Vero joining the police academy as they continue their hunt for the mysterious, elusive EasyClean. Between overhearing conversations they shouldn’t, impersonating cops, and doing whatever they can to not implicate themselves in past crimes, Finlay and Vero have their hands full. Angela Dawe returning to narrate is very much the icing on this reunion cake. —Patty R., Audible Editor

This is the third book in the Finley Donovan series and just like it’s predecessors it did not disappoint! This book managed to keep me on the edge of my seat, heart pounding, wondering how Finley and Vero would manage to get out of their comically dangerous situations - and when it was all over I laughed (out loud) as they narrowly escaped with their lives and dignity.

Sexy and Thrilling! - Elle Cosimano has done it again!

I wasn't expecting to like this series this much as I do. It's clever and fun. I don't want to wait for the next installment, I need it right now. Vero is my favorite lady! I would love to get into all sorts of hijinks with her. Finlay is a very relatable, likable character. She's just as quick as Vero but with a level head. They ride for each other, and I love to see it. The whole cast is packed with depth and and I'm excited to see where we are headed.

The story is great and I love the humor. The narrator is wonderful and I love how everyone one has their own voice. I completely binged this story and now we have to wait for number four. I can’t wait for more adventures from Findlay and V.

I have binged the first three books and eagerly searched for a fourth (coming March 2024). The characters are fun, the story is compelling, and Angela Dawe is an excellent narrator. I keep wanting to know what happens next. I love the friendship between Finlay and Vero- everyone should have such a friend!

Loving this series!

3rd book and going strong. Love the 2 main characters. 2 women helping one another through life’s struggles. The “leap of faith” trust reminds me of being young before we became jaded by life’s challenges. Can’t wait to find what crosses their path.

Good twist
