Finlay and Vero are at it again, and this time their shenanigans lead them to a weekend in Atlantic City. What starts out as a girls' weekend ends up including Finlay's ex, Finlay's mom, and several police officers, including Nick and Finlay's sister.

And then of course, would it even be a Finlay Donovan book if there wasn't another dead body she stumbles upon?

I love these books and this was another solid addition to the series, even if some things feel like they're repeating themselves. The love triangle is thankfully done with (sorry if that's a spoiler, but I'd be annoyed if it was dragged across four books), but Finlay's life still gets more and more complicated. I did think the ending felt like things were starting to wrap up some, but apparently there's going to be seven books in the series. No matter how many books there end up being, I'll still be here for the ride.

Thanks so much to NetGalley and Minotaur Books for my eARC!
