This continues to be a solid series, although all the things these people have been through over a couple of months - wow! Finlay and Vero continue to get into bizarre and zany situations that are fun to picture.

I do wish there were more of a summary of the previous books at the beginning of this one, because there are a lot of characters and motives and murders to track.

Finlay and Vero travel to Atlantic City in search of Vero's boyfriend, a stolen car and to make a deal with a loan shark. Finlay's ex-husband and mother tag along complicating matters. When the police start to close in, Finlay must not cave under the pressure.

Once again love me some Finlay Donovan! I am so glad that I get to read more of this story. I love this plot, Atlantic City! Yes! This was fun ride and who knew that dynamic duo was just want I needed. Highly recommend and definitely loved it. Not perfect as the first one but definitely up there! Thank you NetGalley for the arc!

Now we're going on a road trip! And with a couple extra passengers just for more fun. The story continues in a light hearted, sometimes a little contrived, but never dull. Sit down and enjoy.

Finlay and Vero are off to Vegas, baby! Er, Atlantic City, baby! (Doesn’t quite have the same ring to it…) A lot of the loose ends hanging around from previous books get tied up here. Finlay’s husband is finally waking up/growing up a bit. Plenty of slapstick, as usual. Pretty sure Cam the kid tech genius is becoming my favorite character.

I’m glad this book was set in a different location. It gave the series a refreshing change of pace. And the story arc with Felix and his goons wrapped up (or so it seems) nicely.

Road trips in books just get me every time. I love the mystery aspect that's included and the dynamic duo's banter just is the cherry on top.

Thank you Minotaur Books for the advance copy. All opinions are my own.

On one hand, it’s nice to see Elle not straying far from her Finlay game plan. Finlay is still a mess. She is still in a web of lies. And yet, I found most of this book lacking. It didn’t have a shine like the others. Still, I shall read the next!

Book Review: Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice by Elle Cosimano
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4 Stars)

Finlay and Vero are at it again, and I couldn’t be happier to dive back into their wild, law-skirting, completely chaotic world! Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice delivers exactly what I love about this series—off-the-wall shenanigans, hilarious banter, and a mystery that keeps me flipping pages at breakneck speed.

This time, Finlay and Vero take their antics to Vegas in a high-stakes, high-chaos adventure that somehow includes the Russian mob, a missing husband, and an unexpected road trip. As always, their ride-or-die friendship is the heart of the story, and I loved every second of their dysfunctional, crime-adjacent problem-solving. The humor is on point, the tension keeps you hooked, and Elle Cosimano continues to prove why this series is so binge-worthy.
An absolute blast, and I’ll be reading every single book Elle Cosimano writes in this series. If you love Finlay and Vero’s signature brand of chaos, buckle up—this one’s a fun ride!

✨ Final Verdict: Fast-paced, funny, and full of twists—Finlay Donovan fans will eat this up!

I love this series. This one, like the others, is low stakes and fun.

Finlay and Vero are off to Atlantic City in this installment where they continue to find dead bodies. Ridiculousness ensues.

Finlay can't stay out of trouble..lol. This is a cute small-town mystery filled with twists and humorous turns. Nice palette cleanser
I am enjoying the writing style of Ellie Cosimano.

Thank you Netgalley, St. Martin's Press | Minotaur Books, and Elle Cosimano for the ARC of this cozy mystery.

Finley Donovan fans hit a jackpot with this Vegas-setting installment of the series!

When Vero’s cousin is kidnapped by loan sharks for her debt, they must rescue him without getting caught which grows more difficult when Finley’s ex insists he accompany them and a certain sexy cop shows up too!

As with all Finley books the plot twists and turns in ways you can’t anticipate with Vero and Fin narrowly dodging the hijinx they encounter

This series is a favorite for a reason!

Finlay and Vero do Vegas!

This duo just keep digging themselves deeper into trouble. With each step forward it’s two dead bodies back. And I’m here for every step of the way. I loved this madcap adventure as it included an ex husband, children, a mother and a mashup of other characters that added danger, drama and humor with every twist and turn. The Vero and Javi storyline takes an interesting turn and of course things are moving forward with Finlay and her hot detective. Overall a fun read with a great mystery.

Oh my gosh, Finlay and Vero just need a giant bubble that they cannot escape from. Seriously, these two are upto no good (they are trying hard to be good) again. A rescue, hot boyfriends, a bloating corpse, an ex husband, mom and kids are all part of the current chaos in Finlays life. Will she be able to juggle through and get out alive and out of jail???

Hilarious, light read as always and the romance is firmly in 0lace with Nick.

A fun continuation of the series. It is always amusing to see how Finlay and Vero manage to get themselves out of the messes they create!

Was this review helpful?

Elle Cosimano has done it again! I absolutely love how humorous this mystery is. Though Finlay does keep looking for trouble, she always seems to find herself in a situation where she could be viewed as the prime suspect! I enjoy how this one has a new setting (Atlantic City), it adds many humorous moments.

I received this e-book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to NetGalley and the author/publisher for the copy!

Well, Finlay and Vero are back at it. The pair decides they are going to take the kids on a "girls trip" to Atlantic City, but Steven and Finlay's mom ends up road tripping and tagging along. While there, Vero and Finlay's real plans are to make a deal with the loan shark that has been out to get Vero. The pair decide to try and sneak into the loan shark's hotel room and find more than they bargained for.....two dead bodies. Upon returning to the hotel, they find out that four police members from their local department show up in the same hotel to do some detective work of their own- including Georgia and Nick. Surely these two can't get out of this mess as easily as before, can they?

This was another cute addition to the series. At this point, I will keep reading the books in the series unless it starts to get really bad. But for now, Finlay and Vero are entertaining and their personalities really come to life in this series!

Finlay and the whole gang pack up for a trip to Atlantic City. Of course they end up finding a dead bookie that they have to figure out what to do with- and don't forget about Kevin Bacon!

It has taken me a while to get into this series. The first 2 books I was just stressed out the whole time as I tried to suspend disbelief. Now, I am able to just enjoy the ride --and what a ride this addition to the series is! My favorite so far, it offers more funny moments than the others and gives the reader some satisfying moments in bringing closure to a few of the hanging threads throughout the series, while still leaving room for another book.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Elle Cosimano for providing me with a complimentary digital ARC for Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice. The honest opinions expressed in this review are my own.

This is a really fun series and I love it. There are a lot of shenanigans going on. I’m really not sure why the ex-husband is so involved still besides being the children’s father. I still don’t really like his character. But I’ll continue the series.

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys mysteries!
