I just finished 'Finlay Donovan Is Killing It' and was thrilled to find out there's a sequel! 'Finlay Donovan Knocks 'Em Dead' continues the chaotic adventures of our accidental hitwoman. This sequel doubles down on everything that made the first book great - the hilarious misunderstandings, the tension of juggling motherhood with criminal activities, and Finlay's sharp wit. The sequel introduces new characters while bringing back fan favorites like Vero and the sexy cop Nick. The plot gets even wilder with higher stakes and more ridiculous situations that somehow feel believable. If you loved the first book's blend of comedy and suspense, the sequel delivers the same addictive energy with fresh twists that'll keep you hooked.
The 'Finlay Donovan' series has grown into something special beyond just the original novel. After 'Finlay Donovan Is Killing It' became a sleeper hit, Ellie Cosimano created a sequel that somehow outdoes the first book's brilliance. 'Finlay Donovan Knocks 'Em Dead' builds on the original's foundation with more sophisticated plotting and character development. What impressed me most was how the author expanded the world organically - new characters feel essential rather than tacked on, and existing relationships evolve naturally.
Beyond the main sequels, there are rumblings about potential spin-offs focusing on supporting characters. Vero's backstory seems ripe for exploration, and fan theories suggest we might see her get her own adventure someday. The series' unique tone - that perfect balance between suspense and humor - has carved out a niche in the mystery genre that few can replicate. Each new installment proves this wasn't just a one-hit wonder but a franchise with staying power, offering fresh takes on the 'accidental criminal' trope while keeping the heart of what made readers fall in love with Finlay's messy, relatable life.
I was ecstatic to discover Ellie Cosimano expanded this universe with not one but two sequels. 'Finlay Donovan Knocks 'Em Dead' picks up right where the first book left off, with Finlay still entangled in the messy consequences of being mistaken for a contract killer. What makes this sequel shine is how it deepens character relationships while maintaining the original's frantic pace. Vero becomes even more integral to the plot, showing layers beyond just being the sassy sidekick.
Then came 'Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun', which takes the series in an even more ambitious direction. This third installment raises the stakes dramatically by involving law enforcement in ways that push Finlay's improvisational skills to their limits. The humor remains pitch-perfect, but there's also genuine character growth as Finlay confronts the moral implications of her actions. What started as a quirky premise has evolved into a fully-fledged series with surprising emotional depth beneath all the madcap antics. These books prove cozy mysteries can have bite while still making you laugh out loud.

I never believed in second chances. Not until the man I gave everything to betrayed me.
I lost a million-dollar deal because I thought he’d been in a terrible accident. I rushed back, terrified—only to find out it was a lie. He was fine. He was home. Sleeping with my sister.
I drank that night. Too much. I almost got myself killed.
Instead, I met him.
Golden eyes. Too handsome. Too Elegant. He pulled me in and tore me down in the same breath. Every time I thought of him, I remembered his cruel words and cursed the asshole all over again.
Then I learned the truth.
He was the Lycan King.
“You called the Lycan King an asshole?” Jessie yelled.
“I didn’t know,” I groaned. “He was just a man in a white shirt with a really mean mouth.”
She went quiet. “Then why did he come back for you?”
The day after my sister broke up with her mafia boyfriend, she went off on vacation to clear her head.
She swore she'd find a man even better than her ex, and she sent me a whole stack of profiles of good-looking guys.
She wanted me to help her pick.
I was about to tap the screen when Dante snatched the phone away, his brow furrowing as he let out a soft laugh.
"You are my Donna! Don't pick up her bad habits."
Before I could get a good look, Dante deleted every last photo.
I explained, "She's not really like that. She was with that boyfriend for eight years, and he hurt her too deeply."
"She kept him like a treasure. Even I never got to meet him."
Dante raised an eyebrow and, a little stiffly, told me, "Tomorrow I'm going to Sicily to handle Family business. You be good and stay home."
I nodded and agreed, waiting for him to return.
My sister happened to get back from her own trip right around the time he did.
The moment she walked in, she couldn't wait to tell me how her ex had come back to propose to her.
I smiled and congratulated her.
But when she took out the engagement ring, my heart skipped a beat.
That morning, I'd just happened to find a matching men's wedding ring inside Dante's suit.
Excerpt;
"Mr Donovan."
"You can call me D."
"D."
"Uh huh. Look at me, will you?"
She met his gaze again.
"I don't want to be your girlfriend." She told him.
His smirk returned. "I know. But I don't care. The choice isn't yours. This is not up for debate. And please-"
His pause caused her a great deal of worry as he took her chin in his hand, pinning her with an austere gaze. "Do not say that again."
