'I adore everything about it . . . the perfect blend of mystery and romcom' ALI HAZELWOOD
Finlay and Vero need a girls' weekend away...
Some peace and quiet to negotiate with a dangerous loan shark, save Vero's childhood crush Javi, and find a stolen car. But Finlay's mother and ex-husband Steven are dead set on catching a ride to Atlantic City.
At their casino hotel, the trip takes a nosedive. Javi's kidnapper, Marco, won't negotiate, demanding to know the whereabouts of his missing nephew, Ike. Then Marco turns up dead - leaving Finlay and Vero as main suspects in his murder.
To get out of Atlantic City in one piece, they'll need to stay on top of one jealous ex-husband, one hot cop, two precocious kids, and yet another decomposing body.
All bets are off.
This time, Finlay can't leave anything to chance.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The enjoyable fourth entry in Cosimano's Finlay Donovan series (after Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun) picks up right where the previous installment left off, with the suspense novelist turned sleuth and her nanny, Vero, pausing to collect Finlay's two young children from her ex-husband, Steven, before they head from Virginia to Atlantic City to rescue Javi, Vero's childhood love, from loan shark Marco. During that pause, Finlay and Vero accidentally amass multiple unwanted traveling companions, including Steven,who's angling for a reconciliation, and Finlay's mother, Susan. To make matters worse, Marco refuses to cooperate with Finlay and Vero once they arrive in Atlantic City, and shortly after their first meeting with the loan shark, the women find him dead in a luxury casino suite. Then the police—including Finlay's new boyfriend, Nick, and her sister, Georgia—arrive to look into Marco's death and the disappearance of his nephew, Ike, setting off a fine farce involving interfering mothers, lost hoodies, disappearing kidnapping victims, romantic jealousy, and dirty diapers. Cosimano nails the tone—breezy but not too fluffy—and maintains a breakneck pace throughout. Readers who prefer their mysteries to lean madcap will eat this up.
