This week, we’re diving into Elle Cosimano’s latest installment of the Finlay Donovan series, where chaos follows Finlay everywhere she goes. Between juggling single-mom life, her writing deadlines, and the small detail of being entangled with the Russian mob, Finlay once again manages to dig herself into trouble—literally. Expect grave-digging antics, laugh-out-loud banter with Vero, and twists that somehow make suburban life feel like a full-blown crime caper.
✨ What you’ll hear in this episode:
A quick refresher on the Finlay Donovan books leading up to this one.
Finlay & Vero’s wild partnership (the heart of the chaos).
Mafia messes, romantic complications, and Finlay’s latest “oops, I’m in danger again” moment.

Shelf Therapy takeaway: Sometimes friendship, laughter, and sheer stubbornness are the only tools you need to survive the mess you’ve made.
📚 My rating: 5 stars – Cosimano continues to serve up sharp humor, high stakes, and heart. This series is my comfort-chaos read.
