Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice by Elle Cosimano is another engaging installment in the Finlay Donovan series, blending suspense with sharp humor. The plot is fast-paced and filled with clever twists, and Finlay’s character remains as relatable and witty as ever.

While I enjoyed the novel’s thrilling moments and Cosimano’s sharp writing, I’m starting to feel a bit fatigued by the sheer chaos that seems to follow Finlay everywhere. The frenetic pace and multiple storylines, though entertaining, can be overwhelming at times.

Overall, the book is a fun read and continues to deliver the humor and suspense fans have come to expect. However, I’m hoping for a bit more stability in future installments to balance out the excitement.

This installment in the Finlay Donovan series moves at a breakneck pace. The action is non-stop, and the Finlay and Vero shenanigans are on point.

What I most enjoy about this series-besides the outrageous plots-is the cast of secondary characters and the life that Finlay balances while finding herself in the unlikeliest-and unluckiest-of situations. In this book we get the whole cast in Vegas and a lot of side plots that make interesting fodder for this high-speed read.

Thank you to the publisher via NetGalley for the opportunity to respond to this book with my honest opinions.

All together I'd rate this a 3.5/4 star series. This was good and held my attention, I just feel like this series could've wrapped up much sooner than it did. Overall, Finlay Donovan was a fun read.

As always, Finlay and Vero are getting into trouble together and it's entertaining! This time it's continuing from the previous book, so you'd have to read that one first to understand the plot. I love that they're road tripping to Atlantic City, somewhere I can picture - although I can't relate to anything that happens to them! It's fun and a quick read while trying to solve more mysteries.

4 stars!

Elle Cosimano just keeps churning out winners! I love the "Finlay Donovan" series. It's twisty, turny, funny, thrilling, mysterious, and engaging. Finlay is a quirky, interesting character, and this time, she's hitting the road! I have a blast reading about her (mis)adventures. Suspend your disbelief and you will likely enjoy this book. You really need to read the rest of the books in this series to fully appreciate its greatness and stay caught up on all of the fringe/side characters. I might get tired of these books at some point, but I'm not just yet, so I am looking forward to the next entry in the series that always sees Finlay and her nanny off on some audacious romp.

Thank you to NetGalley, Elle Cosimano, St. Martin's Press, and Minotaur Books for the complimentary ARC of this book. All opinions are my own. I was not compensated for this review.

I definitely should have read the 3rd one but this one is still understandable! Finlay Donovan book 1 and 2 were such a hit as a new reader. I do recommend reading then back to back to get the full effect of them but this is such a fan favorite series! Made me laugh and giggle but as had me guessing what will happen next.

I was just entering into book 2nd book of this series when I requested this book on netgalley. And as that book concluded I found myself done and not wanting to continuing this series. I have friends who absolutely LOVE it. For me I just felt it lacking something to hook me to come back. I love a good cozy mystery but I also as a mom find myself annoyed and just not really want to keep going.

So if you here wanting to read this book because you read that others. Then keep going. If your new to the series. Book one was great and I loved it. I just didn't make it that far. Im sorry.

***I didn't realize this book was part of a series before I started it***

That being said, it was an enjoyable read once I understood why I felt lost at times. The characters were fun, quirky and relatable. I'd like to go back and read the entire series.

This series is just a ball of fun! I thoroughly enjoyed this newest installment. It was a little more convoluted than the previous 3, but the craziness is to be expected in this series. I love the way Finlay's romance was navigated in this book and where it has the potential to go. The ending was hilarious, and it led to a potential next book! I'll definitely read any future books in this series.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an e-arc in exchange for my honest review.

I really enjoyed this book! I love the main characters and I love the story keeps on going. I do have to say none of the books have been able to top the debut book, however, they are entertaining and fast pace books!

The Finlay Donovan series is one that I picked up on a whim. The mystery elements seemed lower than the contemporary vibes that I enjoy and this series has ended up being one that I consistently enjoy.

In this installment, we find the characters on a road trip to Atlantic City to save Vero’s friend Javi. What I wasn’t expecting was Finlay’s ex-husband Steven and her mother, which made the trip even crazier than it would have initially been. It turns out that the hijinks that Finlay and Vero find themselves in are so funny and yet so crazy at the same time. I cannot imagine these things happening in real life, but that is what makes their friendship so fun!

I also highly recommend the audiobook for this series. Angela Dawe is a fantastic narrator for this series and I think they bring great voices to all of the characters Elle Cosimano has created. I was happy to hear that this series is expecting a few more titles. I have no idea how Elle Cosimano can keep the crazy scenarios coming with these characters, but I am excited to visit this world again.

I’m giving this one four stars and cannot wait for more.

I loved this new addition to the Finlay Donovan series. I love how cozy, yet humorous it is. I can't wait to read more from this series & see what Finlay & Vero get up to next.

The way I missed these characters and the story! Elle Cosimano has something so special here with her Finlay Donovan series. Love it. Read it you enjoy mysteries with humor and romance!

I wanted to love this one. I have heard so much about these series. This was my first Finlay novel. I dove in and just found that I was bored. I could not get into the story. I am not sure if it was because I hadn't read others on the series or this just wasn't for me. I feel like it had so much potential, I just did not enjoy this read.

I’m not sure I’ll continue with this series. It’s cute and campy, but I needed more being brought to the table. I think the first book is the best and it would have been better to just leave it there.

Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice is a delightful and witty read that effortlessly blends humor, suspense, and relatable characters. Following the ever-entertaining Finlay Donovan, this installment continues to offer a lighthearted escape with a dash of intrigue and plenty of laughs. Highly recommended for anyone in need of a fun, stress-free book that keeps you engaged from start to finish.

This series is a great blend of suspense and humor and I enjoyed this next installment a lot! This book was fast-paced and is great for something looking for a book that will have you chuckling out loud.

Thank you so much to the publisher and to NetGalley for the e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

I don't know why this ended up on my shelf twice but I did just submit my review for it. Love this twisty fun paced installment in the series.

Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice by Elle Cosimano is a thrilling and witty installment in the Finlay Donovan series. The novel continues to blend suspense and humor as Finlay navigates new challenges and adventures. With its engaging plot and vibrant characters, it's a fun and satisfying read that left me eagerly anticipating the next book in the series!

I have never read a Finlay Donovan book I didn’t like, and this was no exception. This book was riotously hilarious. The road trip to Atlantic City and all the characters Finley and Vero met was absolute perfection. They make such a great duo, and the book flew by as a result of their dynamic.
