Within hours of arriving in their seedy casino hotel, it becomes clear their rescue mission is going to be a bust. Javi’s kidnapper, Marco, refuses to negotiate, demanding payment in full in exchange for Javi’s life. But that’s not all―he insists on knowing the whereabouts of his missing nephew, Ike, who mysteriously disappeared. Unable to confess what really happened to Ike, Finlay and Vero are forced to come up with a new plan: sleuth out the location of Javi and the Aston Martin, then steal them both back.
But when they sneak into the loan shark’s suite to search for clues, they find more than they bargained for―Marco's already dead. They don’t have a clue who murdered him, only that they themselves have a very convincing motive. Then four members of the police department unexpectedly show up in town, also looking for Ike―and after Finlay's night with hot cop Nick at the police academy, he’s a little too eager to keep her close to his side.
If Finlay can juggle a jealous ex-husband, two precocious kids, her mother’s marital issues, a decomposing loan shark, and find Vero’s missing boyfriend, she might get out of Atlantic City in one piece. But will she fold under the pressure and come clean about the things she’s done, or be forced to double down?
Finlay Donovan and Vero are back at it, and somehow their plans manage to get even more chaotic. What starts as a girls’ trip to Atlantic City quickly turns into another ridiculous mess involving a loan shark, a kidnapping, a missing car, murder, and way too many people getting involved.
I really enjoyed the humor and the absolute chaos of this one. Finlay and Vero’s friendship continues to be one of my favorite parts of the series, and their ability to somehow stumble into trouble while trying to fix everything makes these books so much fun.
There were definitely moments where everything felt a little over-the-top, but at this point, that’s part of the charm of the series. It’s entertaining, fast-paced, and has plenty of twists to keep things moving. Not my favorite in the series, but still a fun addition to Finlay and Vero’s ongoing adventures.
