Finlay Donovan Digs Her Own Grave

 

A body is discovered in the garden of Finlay's neighbor from across the street, Mrs. Haggerty. A garden that was planted by Finlay's philandering ex-husband, Steven. Oh, and the dead guy's widow claims she and Steven had an affair. Combined with all those bodies they found on his sod farm a few months back, the police are pretty convinced Steven is their killer and arrest him. Meanwhile, Mrs. Haggerty decides to move into Finlay's house since the police investigation resulted in a lot of damage to hers. 

Finlay is on a mission to clear her ex-husband of the charges as well as get Mrs. Haggerty's house repaired so she can go home. Oh, and her agent, Sylvia, is coming into town to negotiate a TV deal for Finlay's books and wants "hot cop" Nick to sign on as a consultant. Finlay is, naturally, a little concerned about having Nick consult on a show that is loosely based on her own crimes and secrets. 

It was a lot of fun and had some laugh out loud moments. The mystery of who killed the guy who was buried in Mrs. Haggerty's backyard wasn't really much of a mystery, but it was entertaining.
