Elle Cosimano did it AGAIN! I have thoroughly enjoyed the Finley Donovan series so far and this one added so much to the storyline. I loved the weekend getaway vibes but all the twist kept me wanting more!

I looove this series to the max, you have no idea.
I’m always happy when a new one comes out.
It is such a fun cozy hilarious thriller that you can’t help but fall in love with it. This needs to be a tv series! Thank you NetGalley!

Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice is the fourth book in this series that follows the adventures of Finlay, a book author and mom to two, and her nanny Vero as they unexpectedly get caught up with the business of feared mob boss, Feliks Zhirov. In this fourth book it picks up right where the third book ended, with Javi kidnapped by Marco, a man that Vero borrowed money from years ago who has come to collect. Finlay and Vero come to the conclusion that they need to make their way to Atlantic City, disguising this rescue mission as a girls weekend. That's when things get sticky, trying to make excuses for the trip away she finds herself with some unexpected tag alongs....her mom, her ex-husband, and her two young kids.

As Finlay and Vero make their way to Marco's hotel room in search of Javi, they find themselves face to face with two dead bodies...in a state of panic the two need to come up with a plan using what they have in the hotel room. With the clues that they gather they figure out the next steps that they need to take to rescue their friend. As Finlay comes back to her hotel after seeing the 2 dead bodies, she finds herself come across another obstacle, Finlay's new fling/cop boyfriend Nick has come along with a gang of police officers to protect Finlay and find Feliks.

This book takes the reader on an absolute journey as we follow along as Finlay and Vero piece together clues and find out the mystery to who killed these people and where Javi is. The two together are incredibly funny and relatable as they find themselves in the most undesirable circumstances. I love reading their banter and their thought process as they uncover new things and seeing them achieve their goal in the end. I rate this book 4/5 stars and would recommend this entire series to people that want to read a book that will keep them on their toes and incorporate humor.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for this ARC!

Thank you to @netgalley and @MinotaurBooks for this ARC. The 4th book in the Finlay Donovan series and just as funny and cute as the first one. I don't want to give too much away but Finlay and her nanny Vero are off to solve another crime. They always find themselves at the wrong place at the wrong time or maybe the wrong place at the right time. This time in Atlantic City, they some how haul Finlay's mom, her ex Steven and her new boyfriend Nick with them. If you enjoy Janet Evanovich's books, this series is for you! #FinlayDonovanRollsTheDice #ElleCosimano #MinotaurBooks #March2024

Publication Date: March 5, 2024

I love the Finlay Donovan series and was so excited for the opportunity to read an advanced copy. Finlay and Vero are such fun characters and the adventures they go keep you guessing. I would recommend this book to anyone looks for a fun, quirky mystery that keeps getting better with every book. Can't wait for the next one!

Thank you to NetGalley and Minotaur Books for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

💭 Ahhhhh man, I love the crazy adventures of Finlay and Vero. This is book 4 in the series, and I always think after every book, “okay but what more can they do in the next book that’s different but exciting?” & Cosimano never fails to prove to me that there IS more and it won’t be boring!

I have never LOL’d so hard reading a book as I have this one. The first 3 in the series were hilarious, but this one… this one takes the cake.

It hops right back in from where it left off in the previous story (so you definitely can’t read this as a stand alone), and it gets wild RIGHT AWAY.

I love that it’s action packed and full of surprises. If you’re going into this one expecting a realistic thriller, DONT. It’s the most far-fetched one of the series but good Lord, it works so well. A funny thriller with a bit of romance, a great bestie story and a lot of weird, fun, crazy family dynamics?! SIGN ME UP ALWAYS.

Hats off to the author, you killed it once again.

Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martins Press for the advanced reader copy of this latest installment of the Finlay Donovan series.

The Finlay Donovan series is a fast paced, laugh out loud read. I recommend it to all kinds of readers. None of yet to be disappointed with the recommendation.

This latest installment does not disappoint. I had been anticipating this read this year. It actually had a few moments where I could not put it down!

I think this series is great not just for adults but for young adults and some upper middle grade readers.

I had to find out the next chapter in Finlay Donovan's life... the most unlikely of crime solvers and yet so adept at navigating stickybsituations with grace and accidental ease. The fourth installment might be my favorite of the follow ups... heated up romance a d lots of action! Still more questions to be answered... we'll see you next time!

All of the series is an easy, quick read. Perfect for the beach or to read while traveling when distractions might divide your attention buy you still want to be entertained.

Super appreciative of the advanced copy of the fourth Finaly Donovan book! As always, it did. It disappoint! Finlay and Vero are the ultimate lady duo!

We finally get a little more of Vero’s storyline in this installment. The duo (and others) head to Atlantic City in what is loosely disguised as a girls weekend. But, of course, the girls get into some trouble along the way! Without giving the plot away, more bodies are discovered, and the best laid plans go amiss when trying to find Vero’s Javi.

My favorite subplot is how Finn finally sticks it to Steven! I’ve been waiting for this moment through 3 books!

Finlay and Vero, my favorite couple, have returned! Again, here we go. What sort of mischief are they going to get into now? I definitely laughed aloud while reading this book. Not to give anything away, but one of my favorite characters right now is Finlay's mother. I'm eager to watch how Finaly, Nick, Vero, and Javi's relationships develop. I am eagerly awaiting the next book after the way this one ended.

Thank you so so much to Minotaur for the E-ARC!

Oh Finlay and Vero! What can I say? These two are always a good time!

Finlay Donovan is Killing It is one of my favorite books of all time and one of my most recommended as well. I'll be reading this series as long as Elle continues to write them.

The setting in this one was exciting as we got time away on a "girl's trip" to Atlantic City that turned into a little more than they bargained for (doesn't it always?) and dare I say things get even crazier than usual in this one?!

While the beginning and ending were fun for me, I did lose the plot in all the craziness for a while in the middle. There was A LOT going on and it felt like a bit of a juggling act for me at times.

I personally would love to see Finlay and Vero with completely new characters in the next books!

3.5 rounded to 4 for GR

This will be available for purchase on March 19th!

Each Finlay Donovan book is better than the one before! Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice begins just after the events of the last book, with Finlay and Vero taking a road trip to Atlantic City to clear Vero’s name. Of course, the kids, Finlay’s mom, and her ex-husband all decide to join for a weekend away. From dead loan sharks in a bathtub to hiding from a dirty cop in a strip club, this is by far the most exciting and fast-paced installment!

My absolute favorite part of the Finlay Donovan series is how well-developed the characters and character relationships are. Elle Cosimano does such an excellent job drawing the reader into Finlay’s zany world. Once you start reading, you won’t want to put this down!!

Many thanks to St. Martin’s Press/ Minotaur Books via NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I have loved Finlay and Vero since the first book. They make me laugh out loud and their adventures are so crazy you can’t help but get sucked in.

This book picks up immediately after the end of Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun. It’s a girls trip to Atlantic City and brings all the mayhem Finlay is known for. Hilarity ensues and it’s a wild ride from start to finish.

If you are a fan of Elle Cosimano and this series, you will love the latest installment.

Thanks to Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

At this point, I am completely in love with Finlay and Vero, their terrible decisions, and the many, many pickles they get themselves in. This one was just as fun and engaging as the first 3, so I happily immersed myself in their world again. Each of these characters are so well developed you feel like you know them, and the way that Finlay gets herself in and out of trouble is a blast - keeping the pages turning and the adventures rolling!

I ADORE the Finlay Donovan series! These books are always a quick read for me. This book is a great addition to the series. I loved Finlay and Vero’s friendship. I love the way Elle Cosimano always has the characters get into wacky hijinks!

This book was everything I was hoping and expecting and more. I have absolutely devoured this series and cannot wait to read even more. A new top series for me, no question!

I have enjoyed being on the quirky adventures with Finlay and Vero through the first three books of this series. They definitely get into some interesting affairs and their near misses keep you on the edge of your seat. Book 4 was another hit and I cannot wait for more from Elle Cosimano. I’m a definite fan! Thank you to Net Galley and St. Martin’s press for the ARC early review.

After finding books 2 and 3 to be a bit of a letdown, this book came back and made me fall in love with all the characters and story again. This time we see Finlay and Vero off to Atlantic City with the family in tow. This book was fast paced, and I thought it would have been the perfect place to wrap up the series, but with the cliffhanger at the end I can assume another book is coming. I was happy to actually laugh out loud again, and I’m rooting for Finlay and Nick to be end game. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I've loved every single book in the Finlay Donovan series and was SO excited to get my hands on an early copy of book 4 - Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice! This one packs even more fun in between the covers: more mystery, more risk, more romance, and more questions (some of them answered and some of them not...are we teasing a book 5? WE NEED IT!).

I will say these two ladies are getting even more comfortable with unalive bodies - to a degree that I almost started skimming, because my stomach couldn't take it. Finlay doesn't back down from a challenge, that's for sure, and I loved, loved, loved seeing more of Vero's back story and her relationship with Javi. Absolutely adorable. And even though there's even more delicious Nick scenes, we need more. It's never enough. Keep 'em coming!

I don't know about the rest of Finlay's fans, but I'm ready to see this one on the big screen. Until then, crossing all my fingers and toes book 5 is in the works, because I need to know what Steven is hiding - and I bet it's juicy!

Finlay and Vero are at it again! Under the guise of a girl's weekend, they plan a trip to Atlantic City to find a stolen car and Vero's crush while evading a dangerous loan shark who has a vested interest in their activities. Unfortunately, the loan shark isn't the only one they'll have to hide their activities from when Finlay's mother and her jealous ex-husband decide to tag along. Because, as we all know, Finlay doesn't have the best luck and this does not end up being the only complication for the weekend.

As usual, I thoroughly enjoyed the latest installment of the Finlay Donovan series. Finlay and Vero are so engaging and well-matched as partners in crime. I blew through their hijinks in this story. Elle Cosimano finds ways to draw out the storyline from the first book all the way through this one in ways that connect in a way that works so well. Some of the complications in this book were on the farfetched side but that made them all that much more fun.

I look forward to the next installment of this series and would recommend this series to anyone who wants a fun, almost cozy, mystery from the other side of the law.
