November Book Recommendation

With colder weather and longer nights, it’s a great time to burrow into a new series. Finlay Donovan Digs Her Own Grave by Elle Cosimano is the latest book in a witty, fast-paced mystery series about struggling suspense novelist and single mom Finlay Donovan, whose fiction treads dangerously close to the truth as she becomes tangled in real-life murder investigations.

Finlay hasn’t always gotten along with her 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 house becomes an active crime scene. She has nowhere to go... except Finlay's house, right across the street. Finlay and her nanny/partner-in-crime Vero have no interest in getting involved in another murder case-or sacrificing either of their bedrooms. 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.

If you enjoy the sound of this one, you can start at the beginning of the series with Finlay Donaldson is Killing It.
