Finlay Donovan Digs Her Own Grave

A Novel

By: Elle Cosimano

Narrated by: Angela Dawe

“Narrator Angela Dawe is simply amazing at creating different personalities with the power of her voice…Dawe paints pictures that amplify the listening experience.”—AudioFile

From New York Times bestseller and Edgar-Award nominee Elle Cosimano, comes Finlay Donovan Digs Her Own Grave—the hugely anticipated next installment in the fan-favorite Finlay Donovan series.

Finlay Donovan may have skeletons in her closet . . . but at least there's not a body in her backyard.

Finlay Donovan and her nanny/partner-in-crime, Vero, have not always gotten along with Finlay’s elderly neighbor, Mrs. Haggerty, the community busybody and president of the neighborhood watch. But when a dead body is discovered in her backyard, Mrs. Haggerty needs their help. At first a suspect, Mrs. Haggerty is cleared by the police, but her house remains an active crime scene. She has nowhere to go . . . except Finlay’s house, right across the street.

Finlay and Vero have no interest in getting involved in another murder case—or sacrificing either of their bedrooms. After all, they’ve dealt with enough murders over the last four months to last a lifetime and they both would much rather share their beds with someone else.

When the focus of the investigation widens to include Finlay’s ex-husband, Steven, though, Finlay and Vero are left with little choice but to get closer to Mrs. Haggerty and uncover her secrets . . . before the police start digging up theirs. But who will solve the mystery first?

“Refreshing, funny and bright, these are wonderfully escapist novels.”—Charlaine Harris

Amazing

Per usual another amazing book. Cannot wait for the next book. Loved it. Obsessed. Thank you.

Please release book 6 ASAP

I love these characters and NEVER WANT THE SERIES TO END. It came out yesterday and now I need to wait an entire YEAR for book 6. Sigh, alas. This book was fun, lower stakes, but also high stakes at the same time. Mrs. Haggerty is a HOOT. I spent the entire book swinging between annoyance and surprise at her audacity. I HIGHLY recommend this series if you like light hearted thrillers with recurring characters!

Silly fun

The book is silly and fun, same as the others in the series. An easy listen to, and I look forward to the next one.

Such a clever story!

I truly love this series. It’s got a great mix of suspense and humor. Always an easy read!

Finley and her New Gang!

I love these books! They are always a Fun and crazy adventure! Vero and Finley are the best partners in “crime”. I can’t wait till the next book;)
