He may be a hot cop, but Finlay's first priority is preventing her family from sleeping with the fishes... and if that means bending a few laws then so be it.With her next book's deadline looming and an ex-husband to keep alive, Finlay is quickly coming to the end of her rope. She can only hope there isn't a noose at the end of it...

"These are fun books, because it’s a look at what most of us would probably end up doing if we somehow got caught up in a murder-for-hire plot. I enjoyed this and read it in a couple of days. "

"DNF at 73%—this sequel was really boring. It felt like nothing was happening and when things did happen it didn’t make any sense. There was too big a requirement of suspended disbelief that something could work out the way it was. I was planning to stick it out cuz I liked book 1 and wanted to read book 3, but life is too short and this was just honestly like a 2 star if not lower for me at this point."

"Finlay and her BFF babysitter extraordinaire, Vero are back in the second book of the funniest mystery crime series that is on the market.<br/><br/>This time, it looks like someone want’s Finlays ex husband on the chopping block. These two amateur sleuths jump through the funniest, zaniest, clever clues to lead them to piece together the clues they need to figure out who might be behind it. <br/><br/>Love it and number 3 can’t get here soon enough."
