From New York Times bestseller and Edgar-Award nominee Elle Cosimano, comes Finlay Donovan Digs Her Own Grave--the hugely anticipated next installment in the fan-favorite Finlay Donovan series.
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 simple call to a plumber turns into the discovery of a dead body in her backyard, Mrs. Haggerty needs their help.
The police take Mrs. Haggerty in for questioning and, though she swears she's innocent, it's clear to everyone she's keeping a secret . . . but whose? With her house now an active crime scene, she's released from custody with nowhere to go. Her concerned grandson, Brendan, an aspiring politician, doesn't have room in his one-bedroom apartment for her and appeals to Finlay to let her stay at her place until the investigation is over.
Finlay and Vero have no interest in getting involved in another murder case--or sacrificing either of their bedrooms so they'd have to share. 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. But when the focus of the investigation widens to include Mrs. Haggerty's neighbors, Finn and Vero are left with little choice but to uncover the woman's secrets before the police start digging up theirs.
Desperate to clear his grandmother's name before his upcoming campaign for local office, Brendan Haggerty makes Finlay and Vero an offer that seems too tempting to refuse: give their grandmother a place to stay under their watchful eyes and he'll help Finlay and Vero find a killer. But who will solve the mystery first? And will the name Brendan turns over to the police exonerate or implicate them?
