Finlay Donovan Digs Her Own Grave
by Elle Cosimano
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.

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. 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.
