On its own merits, this book is hugely entertaining! As usual, Finn and Vero are a great duo, racing around Atlantic City on a series of missions and being hampered by what seems like all law enforcement and bad guys on the eastern seaboard. I love how Finn and Vero are so supportive of each other, importantly without telling each other what to do! They are truly women supporting women 🤝 On the other hand, when compared to the previous novels in the series, it was the weakest for me. The pacing felt inconsistent and the action didn’t really thrill until much later in the book (
it was a lot of conversations with various people in various locations, and that didn’t inspire the urgency to jump off the page
). Regardless, Finlay Donovan has me in a chokehold and I will be back for book #5!
