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.
Another incredible, entertaining (for me), and challenging (for them) adventure for suspense author Finlay Donovan and her accountant-nanny-housemate-friend Vero as they travel to Atlantic City to save Vero’s childhood crush Javi from a loan shark to whom Vero owes lots of money. Once again, Finn and Vero find themselves hiding bodies, while also escaping a corrupt former detective and the Russian mob, protecting a teenager wanted by the police, and tracking down a stolen sports car, while also hiding the truth from Finn’s new adorable detective boyfriend, her ex-husband, her two young children, her mother, her cop sister and her girlfriend (also a detective), and an FBI agent.
I am always looking forward to a new Finlay Donovan novel and they never disappoint. They are the right dose of fun and suspense, twisty and entertaining, with a cast of irresistible characters. Finlay Donovan is brilliant. Resourceful, determined and smart, she has kept me glued to the pages since the first novel, Finlay Donovan Is Killing It, when she was mistaken for a killer for hire and she got mixed up in all kinds of misunderstandings and illegal activities. Now, three books later, she has to juggle not only the mafia, but also a corrupted detective who won’t leave her alone, a loan shark who will release Vero’s friend in exchange for money they don’t have, a techie teenager in hiding, and a dog named Kevin Bacon.
Hilarious and fast-paced, Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice is romance and suspense perfectly blended together with an ending that promises much more fun and suspense that I can’t wait for!
