Finlay Donovan Digs Her Own Grave by Elle Cosimano
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.

This is a book five to the review will be short. There are spoilers below from the earlier books.
I really love this series. In this one, we get more of a focus on Mrs Haggerty and Cam which I loved. My favorite parts were when those two were together. Finlay and Vero thought they were done with bodies and murders, but they both get sucked into this one. Only partly by choice. There are a lot of secrets that they uncover. I was happy that the ending shows that there should be a book six. I’m not usually one for long series, but I don’t think I could get sick of these.
I gave this book 5 stars.
Thank you to Edelweiss for my earc.
