"Finlay Donovan is irresistible "--Janet Evanovich
"This series is magical "--Christina Lauren
"The perfect blend of mystery and rom-com."--Ali Hazelwood

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?

Customer Reviews

Mrs. Haggerty is the best!

Yet again Steven is in trouble and Finlay is doing her best to prove he is innocent. Kinda tired of Steven, but at least this time we get to really know a wonderfully great character...Mrs. Haggerty! Boy does she have a past and is so colorful, whether she is demanding to be driven to her book club (bringing special brownies!) or home school teaching Delia and potty training Zach. And that is all because she is living with Finlay while her home recovers from the police search and water leaks (which uncovered that mysterious body). I love Mrs. Haggerty and her interactions with everyone, including Cam with his new dog. It is great to see Cam again and see what he is up to. So, because of the great Mrs. Haggerty, this was another fun book to read in the series which I am assuming will include at least one more book after that ending! It will be good to see what happened with Vero at college and the missing money that she did not take but was blamed for anyways.
