Finlay Donovan is back! And this time she might just be in over her head.

After surviving their time at the police academy, Finlay and Vero have no time to rest as Vero’s “friend,” Javi, has been kidnapped. They need to get to Atlantic City and save him but everyone else seems to have other plans. Finlay’s ex-husband, Steven, insists on joining the girls and the children on their trip and soon Finlay’s mom is joining in on the fun. Making matters worse? Once Finlay and Vero arrive in Atlantic City they discover that Nick, Finlay’s sister, and a slew of other law enforcement are joining them and they plan on keeping an eye on them. Can Finlay and Vero complete their mission without raising any suspicions or has their luck officially run out?

It is well known to anyone who follows my reviews that I am a big fan of the Finlay Donovan series. While book three was a bit of a filler, it was still fun enough for me to continue in the series and I’m glad I did. Book four is a good improvement from the third installment as the hilarious hijinks are kicked back into gear and we get a lot of classic Finlay and Vero scheming. While the plot is nothing particularly complex, it does bring back that fun that seemed to be missing from the last book.

If you are on the fence with continuing this series, I highly recommend you grab this book and get it a shot. And for those of you who still love Finlay? Well buckle in for another wild ride.
