I am so happy to have discovered this series. It is uproariously funny and the plot is engaging. Well done Ms. Archer!
Many thanks to Henery Press and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Highly recommend reading the series in order. The twist and turns or so fast, you might be left in a daze.

Once again, Davis Way, Fantasy, Baylor and No Hair are trying to save the casino. Bradley (Davis' husband) is now the manager and they are working together. Being newlyweds, this might not be the best idea. When the events manager disappears, the vault is robbed and Davis and Bradley are living at the casino in the managers suite that looks like New Orleans spewed all over, you know there is going to be mayhem. Add in that Davis is sure Magnolia, the previous manager's wife, is sneaking into their apartments, Biana Sanders is still as crazy as ever and there is a rather crazy pilot helping them out and the laughs are also there. This story has a more serious take on it than previous ones, but Davis still bumbles her way into and out of trouble. Someone had to find the missing platinum and Davis is sure the Banking Conference has something to do with it. Missing guests, counterfeit money and a printing room found hidden in their quarters gets Davis up in arms, especially when Bradley tells her to butt out.
The characters in this story are fleshed out a bit more. We find out about Fantasy's home life and family, and she makes a big mistake in this book that could cost her a lot. Baylor comes across as a young, dumb, bodyguard type character in this story, even more than the last one, but comes through when he is needed. Bradley and Davis show some sides of their relationship that we have not seen before and it adds some dimension to Bradley. Finally, Bianca actually had me feeling a bit sorry for her. The new characters in this story were portrayed well, some funny, some nasty. The plot moved quickly as there was a lot going on, but it was not confusing. Once again, I enjoyed the escapades of Davis and her team. I can't wait to see what Gretchen Archer has in mind for her next story.

Davis Way is back in a fourth caper at the Bellissimo Resort and Casino. Just as 500 Alabama bankers descend on the Bellissimo, Holder Darby, the Events Coordinator, disappears. While Davis investigates this disappearance, she finds a cat, "knows" that one particular person keeps breaking into her rooms at the Bellissimo, wonders about fake platinum coins found in the casino vault, not to mention the counterfeit money found in a missing guest's suite. With the aid of her crew (Fantasy and Baylor), Davis manages to muddle her way to thwarting the mastermind behind all the craziness happening at the Bellissimo. For added fun, you could listen to this tale of mayhem on audio!

I would certainly recommend this title for my adult book groups and reading clubs. It's fun, well thought out and the characters are witty and personable!
