Finlay Donovan Crosses the Line by Elle Cosimano (Minotaur, March 17)

The sixth book in the Finlay Donovan series, Finlay’s nanny and partner-in-crime, Vero, is awaiting trial for a crime she knows she didn’t commit. But someone stole money from Vero’s sorority’s treasury funds, and if Finlay doesn’t figure out who really did it, Vero could find herself in jail for a long, long time. Unfortunately, Vero doesn’t have an alibi, and as the treasurer of her former sorority, Vero seems like the obvious culprit.
