I have loved every book in Elle Cosimano’s Finlay Donovan series, and I think her latest, Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice, might actually be my new favorite in the series.

It wouldn’t be a Finlay Donovan book if Finlay and Vero, her nanny/partner in crime, weren’t up to their ears in trouble and this time the trouble they’re in has them taking a road trip to Atlantic City. They tell Finlay’s family that it’s a much needed girls’ getaway, but in reality, they are actually attempting to negotiate a deal with a dangerous loan shark, rescue Javi, Vero’s childhood crush who has been abducted, and find a stolen car. When both Finlay’s jealous ex-husband Steven and her mother insist they are coming on the trip too, things just go from bad to worse and Finlay and Vero have their work cut out for them. Needless to say, shenanigans ensue!

I really enjoyed this one! The road trip from hell was hilarious and had me laughing out loud several times. There were also plenty of twists and turns as Finlay and Vero try to accomplish what they set out to do, and I always love that these books have almost a cozy mystery vibe even though they’re also pretty action packed and Finlay and Vero are almost always dealing with shady characters, usually mobsters. I also really enjoyed seeing just how much Vero cares about Javi. I felt like that was a side of her I hadn’t seen before in the earlier books.

I don’t want to give anything away, but if you’re looking for a fun book to dive into, I highly recommend this one. The audiobook for Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice is an especially good time as Angela Dawe wonderfully captures all of the humor in the book.

Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice by Elle Cosimano is a good time! Think The Hangover movie but cozy mystery style. I love the characters, plot points, wacky situations and humor. The narrator contributes to the awesomeness that is the characters. I laughed out loud many times while reading this book. This series is an autobuy for me.

Honestly I requested this book by mistake and I had not read the other books. There was a lot of connections I’m sure I am not able to discern. Given that, I am trying not to give a review based on that matter and still give the book a try.

I really love thrillers, murder mystery type of books and this one was on a much lighter note which I honestly do appreciate. I do love the small rid bit laughs to lighten up the story. It kinda reminds me of a murder mystery comedy in that sense. There was a lot of dynamics and characters that came together to create the story line which I love when a story is told, again sometimes confusing but being that I don’t know much history, I can somewhat imagine.

With that said, I will definitely go and read the first 3 and more than likely return to this one. There wasn’t a moment that I did not enjoy and based on the ending, I will continue on in the story.

Elle Cosimano has done it again! This latest installment of Finlay Donovan is another fantastic page turner. I have really enjoyed every single book in this unbelievable series. Each novel seems to hook me even further into the story.

Finlay and Vero have yet more mysteries and murders thrown their way in this four installment. Whether things turn out the way they hope may only be a Roll of the Dice.

The narration is done really well. I love how Angela Dawe presents this story in such an enjoyable yet show stoping way. This book will have you on the edge, never knowing how things are going to turn out next.

The audio has a really good flow. I think both the author and the narrator do a fantastic job at bringing the story and characters to life. I really enjoyed the humor in these novels and am looking forward to reading more from Cosimano in the future.

Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the ARC audio of this book.

I absolutely love this series!! The narrator is phenomenal! I recently got to meet both Elle and Angela and talk to them about this book. It was awesome to hear Elle talk about Finlay and her escapades. If you haven’t read any of these books you need to! None of them disappoint!

This series is everything zany, hilarious, and delightful. Finlay Donovan is one of those series that I know will be good for a laugh, some absolutely absurd situations, and some hot men. Detective Nick is everything. Finlay makes me absolutely crazy in the best way.

The narration is always A+ and definitely my favorite way to read these books!

Finlay and Vero are at it again in the fourth book of this delightful series by Elle Cosimano. This book picks up right where book three ended, and it was like no time had passed… I fell right back into their wacky world. The quirky characters are back. The banter and snark are back. The absolutely absurd situations are back. And, of course, the hot cop is back.

I received an audio ARC of this book, and I really enjoyed the extra zhuzh that Angela Dawe added to the story. She absolutely nails it. It was, for lack of a fancier turn of phrase, just so stinking fun to listen to. I especially liked that this book added more depth to Vero’s character and backstory. The crazy sidekick doesn’t always get the love they deserve, and I was happy to see more of Vero in this book. After I finished, I realized that Vero actually has a separate novella focused on her (how did I miss this?!), so I’ll definitely be adding that to my TBR pronto. I was expecting this book to wrap up the series, but in classic Finlay Donovan fashion, it ended with yet another cliffhanger, so fingers crossed Elle Cosimano isn’t quite done yet! I for one can’t wait to join in the next round of shenanigans.

Some readers may find the series to be getting a bit repetitive, but I personally feel like this book was catching up with old friends on their misadventures. This book is a fantastic break from reality and provides loads of laughs. If you’re looking for a cost and quirky mystery with healthy doses of action, comedy, romance, and suspense, you definitely need to check this out!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Many thanks to NetGalley, Macmillan Audio, and Elle Cosimano for the opportunity to read and review this book in advance of its official publication.

I really have enjoyed reading this series, and I love the way this one was particularly written. While chaotic, it involved all the characters I was fond of and remembered in new twists and turns I didn't think the author could even fathom. I truly thought Elle Cosimano was wrapping up the series at the end of this book, but was provided with a twist, and one I am eager to follow up on! Thanks to NetGalley for the Advanced Listening Copy, and I promise you won't be disappointed in the fourth installment of this beloved character.

I love this series and this latest book did not disappoint. I love Vero and her sassy, witty personality. I really like seeing how much Finlay has “grown up” as a character and how much stronger she is compared to book 1. Finlay’s mom having a little of a storyline and being more involved in the story was also fun to read. Lots of women can relate to her wanting to leave the monotony of every day with her husband and not feeling loved & appreciated enough. I hope that Javi and Vero’s relationship keeps growing because they clearly love each other. The way this book ended with Mrs. Haggerty in cuffs and a body buried in the backyard, I’m excited for the possibility of a book 5 in the series! There’s never a dull moment with Finlay and Vero.

I am in love with these audiobooks.

Finlay and her nanny/partner in crime, Vero, find themselves one again caught in "solve this mystery without being killed" situation. They plan a girl's getaway, secretly trying to find Vero's man, Javi, and his kidnapper. It's a bust from the beginning as these two try to navigate their way out of destruction and chaos.

This is the fourth installment in the Finlay Donovan series. It picks up right where the third book leaves off, so the series should be read in order. This series is for anyone that loves laugh out loud capers with great characters. The series reminds me of the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. I definitely recommend the audiobook as Angela Dawe does a wonderful job!

Thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the advanced digital copy of the book.

I loved to continue reading about Finlay adventures or better to say misadventures. Her mix ups from one criminal to another one. Little romance with a hot detective never hurts. This book included her mom and love meeting her.

I really enjoy these characters and the unique story, but I do feel like the story is dragging on too much. I will still be purchasing this for our library and know many patrons will enjoy it, but I think I’m getting a bit burnt out on the stories. It just isn’t hitting the same way. Still a super fun series! I did enjoy this one more than the last book. Excellent on audio!

Thank you Minotaur Books and Macmillan Audio for the review copies. All thoughts are my own.

The fourth book in the Finlay Donovan series brought the same action, mystery, drama, and humor I’ve come to love from this series. I always feel like I’m sleuthing right alongside Finlay and Vero when listening to these stories. Even though it was fast paced, there were still times I wanted the story to move along a bit, and I wished I had re-read Jumps the Gun before jumping into this book. I also wanted more of Nick and Finlay – what can I say, I’m a romance reader at heart. Fingers crossed that we get more of this rambunctious crew with a book 5!

Absolutely incredible! Elle Cosimano strikes again. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. This book series is so good and this book is just as outstanding as the others! Its like walking into a friendship group that you've always belonged to. I'm so glad I got this on ARC, I can't wait to tell everyone about it!!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to enjoy this title in advance of it's publication. The Finlay Donovan Series are really fun to listen to. The narrator does a great job and you can't help but chuckle along to Fin and Vero's capers. As the series has continued (this is the 4th installment) it just keeps getting better. I am looking forward to what happens with these characters next.

The third installment of the finlay Donovan series. They just keep getting better. I thoroughly enjoyed the adventures with Finlay this time.

The fourth book in the Finlay Donovan series picks up exactly where the third one left off. It would be difficult to follow if you had not read the previous stories.
The change of location for this story was refreshing, as well as the additional background of Vero's character. It really helped me buy into more of the story.
With that being said, I feel like this is a good way to tie up the ends for Finlay Donovan. The hot mess mom deserves some rest after these last 4 adventures.

I love this series! Each book feels better than the last. I love how interconnected each book is. Finlay is a fun character in and of herself but this series is great at showing how important the side characters are. Each one of the side characters helps this novel shine.

These books are such great escapes. None are all that realistic but you really don’t care because they are so fun to read. I have loved them from the first book and will keep going with the series as she writes more. This is a must read author for me.
