Another cute installment in the Finlay Donovan series! This is another cozy mystery with twists and humor. As always, Finlay and Vero find themselves in another conundrum, which continues to escalate. As always, the series is a good mix of mystery and genuine love for one another. Another great installment in the series!

Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice
starts where the previous book left off. Finlay and Vero are going to Atlantic City to rescue Javi with her kids, ex-husband and mother in tow. Not long after, there are more unexpected visitors showing up in AC. Get ready to suspend reality and enjoy the ride.

Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice is the fourth book in the delightful Finlay Donovan cozy mystery series by Elle Cosimano.
This series continues to be a win for me in terms of reading enjoyment. I can always count on Finlay books to be full of hijinks and a variety of fun plot hooks.
In this installment, Finlay and Vero travel to Atlantic City under the guise of a girl's weekend, but in actuality they need to sort out a few issues to get Russian mob and a loan shark off their tails. As per usual, their plan fails and in the end the whole family--and then some--end up joining the two of them on the trip.
I'm very excited for the next book in the series.

Another great book about Finlay Donovan who is always in some type of jam, but this time her ex and everyone else is in for the ride.

Delightful as expected. This series can do no wrong. I love all the characters. Can’t wait for the next!

The Finlay Donovan series is always fun to read and this was a solid addition to it. This story built on what came before it and I don't think it would work as a standalone. It lives up to the books that came before it, but I do feel like my interest in the series is dwindling. I still like the characters and their antics though - and there were plenty of those in this one. It was an entertaining book overall, just not as fresh as the beginning of the series.
I read a copy of this book from NetGalley. All comments are my own.

3.75 stars
Finally and vero plan a girls trip to Atlantic City but forget to tell everyone joining them that they are there to find Javi and figure out what to do with the loan shark after Vero.

Read this awhile ago and seems like my review didn’t save for some reason. Thank you Net Galley for an ARC of this book.
Same lovable characters, laugh out loud humor, and equal parts shenanigans and action, but with an Atlantic City spin. Probably my favorite in the series since the first book, especially since I felt like it wrapped up more loose ends than any of its predecessors but still left me wanting for more. Recommend and looking forward to #5!

I absolutely love this series! The antics that Finlay and Vero get themselves into will keep you laughing. All the secondary characters are just perfect. Cam the young techy that helps them out, Nick the Hot Cop, Finlay's mother and even Stephen a little bit, Vero's snide comments about Stephen are so funny. This book takes the crew to Atlantic City for a "girl's trip" which is anything but that. Leaving Cam in charge in the hotel suite with "Kevin Bacon", The situations Finlay and Vero find themselves in are priceless. Her children trashy the hotel room... I don't know how Elle Cosimano comes up with these ideas and weaves them into a 5 star story, but I will follow Finlay and Vero anywhere. I hope there are so many more stories to come. Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read this again and fall in love with these characters all over again.

Finlay and Vero plan a girls' weekend in Atlantic City in order to pay off the loan shark Vero owes. However, they also have to rescue Vero's boyfriend, Javi. But because these books always have to be the most extreme, Vero and Finlay can't travel alone. No, Finlay's mom, her ex-husband, and her two small children have to join them. But that's not all, Finlay's police officer sister, her girlfriend, Finlay's police officer boyfriend, his ex-partner, and the FBI join them, too. But even with all that, this book isn't as absurd as the Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun.
The reader will have to suspend belief to understand Finlay’s and Vero’s actions. I wish the author wouldn’t try to cram every absurd scenario into one novel.
If you enjoyed the last three books in this series, you'll enjoy this one. Storylines finally get tied up. I especially enjoyed Finlay standing up to her ex-husband. 3.5 stars

Thanks to @stmartinspress and @netgalley for copies of the Finlay Donovan series by Elle Cosimano.

I have wanted to read this series for a while, and when I saw that the series was Read Now on NetGalley I decided it was time to give it a go. Finlay Donovan is a writer who is mistaken for a hitman and hijinks ensue with her nanny Vero. These books were perfect popcorn mysteries for me. I laughed, I was intrigued by the mystery aspect and I had a good time reading them! A perfect read when I needed something I didn’t have to think too hard about!

I just love this series. Finlay and Vero are the dynamic duo always getting themselves into a mess with humor that makes you laugh out loud! Can’t wait for the next in the series!

I loved Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice! It was a warm welcome back to Finlay and Vero's shenanigans! I enjoy how light and funny this book is while also having strong elements of mystery. There are laugh out loud parts mixed with anticipation of what's to come. I have read the previous Finlay Donovan books and loved how this one really combined the whole group of characters - Finlay, Vero, Steven, Finlay's mom, and of course, Nick the hot cop! I can't wait to start Finaly Donovan Digs her own Grave next!
Thank you St. Martin's Press, Minotaur Books, and Elle Cosimano for my copy of this eread!

Finlay and the usual cast of character take a road trip to Atlantic City. The story is a continuation of the first three books in the series. It is on ridiculous side, but that is what makes it fun. It is a far fetched enjoyable mystery with very likable characters. For those not familiar with the Finlay Dovonvan series, I recommend starting with book 1. I don’t think Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice works as a standalone. There is too much history with the characters and storyline. I am looking forward to the next book in this comedy murder series.

I'm new to the Finlay Donovan series and have been catching up on the books I missed. Finlay Donovan rolls the dice once again finds Finlay and Vero on a mission, this time to rescue Vero's childhood crush Javi.
I love that this series is fun and not too serious. At times the situations and how Finlay get out them are very unrealistic, but I know what I am getting into when I read them. I don't need 100% realism. I recommend for a quick fun read!

This is book 4 in the Finlay series and it starts off right where book 3 ended! I love these books. They aren’t masterpieces that you’ll learn anything crazy or have you sobbing for characters but they are fun books that will have you laughing and trying to solve the mystery. Light hearted reads to escape for a while, which is exactly what we need sometimes!
These books are always giving Lucy and Ethel vibes which I grew up watching with my grandma so I’m here for it!

Our favorite dynamic duo is back and messier than ever. I love it. It was so funny that I was laughing out loud at parts. I feel like each book gets better and better. That ending! Can’t wait for the next book! Thank you to Minotaur Books, Net Galley and Ellen Cosimano for the ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I am a big fan of over the top novels and zany characters - but I think I may be getting a little bit tired of Finlay and her crazy antics. This was fun but nothing new really in the series or anything that makes me dying to continue on with more Finlay books - but overall it was entertaining.

Book 4 in the Finlay Donovan series. This may be my favorite story yet! Finlay and her nanny are headed to Atlantic City for a girls' weekend. What chaos will ensue in Finlay's life this time?

Off to Atlantic City for some zany fun! Oh to be along for the ride. You will love these fun delightful characters. Great story. Thanks #Netgalley and #StMartinsPress for the eARC in exchange for a honest review. All opinions are mine.
