This installment is pure fun—fast-paced, clever, and as delightfully chaotic as ever. Finlay heads to Atlantic City on a mission involving the Russian mob, missing people, and a whole lot of things she definitely didn’t plan for. As always, nothing goes smoothly—and that’s exactly what makes it so entertaining.

The chemistry between Finlay and her crew is electric, the banter is sharp, and the stakes feel higher than ever. Elle Cosimano keeps the suspense and laughs coming without losing the heart of what makes the series so great.

If you’ve loved Finlay so far, this one delivers all the twists, trouble, and charm you’re hoping for. It’s pure escapism in the best way.

This was another great addition to the series. It had been a few years since I read the previous one so I found myself a little lost with the plot line but overall it was a good and hilarious book to add to the series and I will continue reading this series.

Thank you to the author/publisher and Netgalley for a copy of this whole series! I think everyone should read these because they're so fun. Finlay is one that I have loved getting to know and the series was so much fun to dive into.

The Atlantic City setting was fun but truthfully I am just tired. The story really isn't progressing and is just getting too outlandish and too complicated. I'm trying to follow and keep up but it's just getting harder.

4 stars for book 4 in the Finlay Donovan series. I have been reading the books in order and recommend that you do the same, as each book builds on the previous book. This book has Finlay and Vero, her accountant/nanny, traveling to Atlantic City to resolve an outstanding gambling loan from a loan shark. But then Finlay's ex husband and her mother demand to come with them. There are encounters with a Russian mobster, a corrupt cop, another cop who is love with Finlay, Finlay's sister and other diverse characters.
Some people die, but there is a satisfactory ending.
One quote on some of the things going on in the book, by Finlay: "My schedule? Besides playing 'Weekend at Bernie's' with two corpses while concealing the murders from the cops, hiding an irreverent teenager from people who wanted to kill him, and tracking down a stolen sports car so I could take down the leader of the Russian mob before he got to me first?"
Thank You Minotaur Books for sending this eBook through NetGalley.

A page-turner from start to finish! Great plot, strong voice. Thanks for the advance copy—I really enjoyed it.

I really loved this book! Elle Cosimano continues to deliver a perfect blend of humor, suspense, and heart with Finlay Donovan’s latest adventure. The mix of family drama, mystery, and sharp wit kept me hooked from start to finish. Finlay’s chaotic life feels so real and relatable, and the twists kept me guessing throughout. A fantastic addition to a series I’m absolutely loving!

Note: I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion. Thank you, NetGalley and publishers.

Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice is the fourth in the series. Finlay is once again head over heels in a mess only she can get herself out of, with plenty of help from beloved recurring characters. A weekend in Atlantic City with Vero gets complicated before Finlay even drives out of town. Steven, her kids and her mom have all invited themselves along. And that’s just the beginning! This weekend will be Finlay’s biggest gamble yet!

Thank you St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for the complimentary e-ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This book takes us to Atlantic City as Finlay and Vero follow the stolen car which had Javi in it. Vero has to deal with her old debts in order to get her childhood crush back.

This book has more for the readers to giggle about - absurd situations with crazy solutions.

Summary
Finlay and Vero are at it again, but this time they’re headed to Atlantic City with Finlay’s children, her mom, and her ex-husband. Book 4 picks up where book 3 left off – with a ransom note and a plan to rescue a certain someone who has been kidnapped…

Thoughts
Vero and Finlay are the Lucy and Ethel of thrillers. They’re both a hot mess and it always leads to a crazy adventure. I love how as these two are getting themselves into trouble, they’re always trying to keep others out of it – sometimes they aren’t as successful as others. I also loved seeing some of the minor characters having bigger roles in book 4 to help tell the story and solve the mystery. All of the characters (even the unlikeable ones) are so loveable and add a lot to the Finlay Donovan series.

Recommend?
Would I recommend this? Absolutely! This series is a breath of fresh air after reading heavier, darker thrillers. I love being able to escape into the wild world of Finlay and Vero and see what trouble they find themselves in.

Loved it!! It's like everything that could go wrong did end up going wrong/ every obstacle you could think up actually ended up happening but Finlay and Vero still got through it all. The ending was so intriguing though, can't wait to find out what Ms. Haggerty's been up to lol

Another completely Outrageous and Unbelievable book, but a ton of Fun to read. I'm sad to be nearing the end of the thus far published series.

This episode, like the others, takes up right where the last one left off. Vero's childhood crush Javi is being held hostage by a certain loan shark who wants his money and to know what happened to his nephew (they are NOT going to tell him). So the ladies decide to pretend to have a girls weekend away in Atlantic City so they can find Javi, but - of course - Finlay's mother decides to tag along, and the next thing you know, Finlay's ex Steven as well as the kids are there as well. Gonna be tricky doing their sleuthing. Then Nick and a group of cops arrives to add to the mix. It is the usual chaos and exquisite timing of events as the previous stories. But those girls always get the job done. There just always seems to be so much to clean up afterwards. This series is holding up very well, always amusing and well plotted. The action is wild and crazy, and the romance is intensifying. Great fun.

Finlay Donovan books are some of my FAVE!! I LOVE how the characters interact and are so real and they just get funnier as the series progresses!!

Another super fun one! This series is just such a good time. I love how fast paced and funny it is. I love everyone so much and I’m happy Finlay’s Mom was in this one a little more because she’s great. I liked how everything came together in this one. I’m also so happy we got more romance for both Finlay and Vero 😍
I was wondering what the next book could even be about but after that epilogue I’m excited for it! I’m still curious about Steven and what he has going on so I’m hoping there’s some pieces of that in the next one 🤞

Finlay Donovan can do no wrong 🥹 these books are so easy to read and they snag you up and get you hooked. I have loved the whole series but this was a fabulous ending

Decided to DNF this series. Was super excited to see what all the hype was about and wanted to binge it but I just don't think the cozy mystery is the genre for me sadly, though I do totally get why other readers love it so much!

Easy breezy, super funny and cute. I’m completely invested in this series. Finley Donovan is hilarious. Kevin Bacon stole the show.

Excited to finally read these! Finlay Donovan is as good as everyone said it was, can't believe I waited this long.

Thanks to Netgalley for giving me a nudge in the form of free copies of previous books.

I love Finley and Vero, I will read anything with these two. This is book 4 and it takes us to Atlantic City to wrangle with a loan shark and try to save Veros friend. Very funny and a bit zany.
