I LOVE LOVE LOVE this series. They are fun stories that you can get lost in. I adore Finlay and all the adventures and pickles she gets caught in. I cannot wait for the next book.

This series started out really fun. Now it's just getting repetitive. I think this will be my last, but it's been fun!

first of all, i appreciate finally and vero's relationship so much. they're hilarious sidekicks! book 4 made me love their relationship more! i loved the highlighted importance of family. and that it's ok to have some family chaos!! especially finlay's mom!! the mystery is wonderful. wish i had a friend to count on like vero

Easy to listen to on audiobook, but a bit predictable with the sequence of events and drama lining up the same as every other book in this series.

Thank you so, so much to NetGalley and Minotaur for the advanced copy in exchange for review!

Finlay and Vero’s dynamic and antics are at it again (per the end of the last book, they needed to head to Atlantic City)! I LOVE them and am here for anything Elle puts out! You have to suspend belief in this series, but her comedy is gold :)
Finlay’s ex-husband, Steven, and her mother and her kids are in tow, herin begins the comedy of errors, kidnappings, murder-solving and more.

I've read all of the Donovan series and many loose ends get tied up in this installment. However, it was left with enough of a cliffhanger that It could keep going. I can't say much or I'd spoil the main plot points, but I'm glad that Fin sticks to her guns and finally tell Steven once and for all about moving up and on with their lives.

What a fun fourth book in a series! I love reading about what Finlay Donovan and crew are up to, and this one was no different. Putting all the main characters, in a car for a road trip to Atlantic City for the weekend was such a fun concept. I found it to be truly laugh out loud funny at times. Did I have to suspend some belief, yes of course, but that just added to the hilarity. This book kept me truly on the edge of my seat and I could not wait to figure out how Finlay and Vero would get themselves out of countless situations (not sharing a lot of details because I don't want to go in to the spoilers for this book). I highly recommend this series, as I have found each book to be incredibly enjoyable. The elements of mystery and twists are so fun, and Vero's sharp wit and Finlay's grit and determination kept me coming back. I look forward to reading more books in the series in the future.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher St. Martin's Press- Minotaur Books for an advanced readers copy of this book. All opinions within this review are my own.

Elle Cosimano's Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice is a hilarious and action-packed escape that will keep readers guessing. The novel follows Finlay Donovan, a struggling writer who finds herself unwittingly involved in organized crime.

Cosimano's writing is witty and engaging, filled with clever dialogue and humorous situations. The characters are well-developed and relatable, and the plot is suspenseful and heartwarming. The book explores themes like motherhood, friendship, and second chances and is poignant and uplifting.

While the pacing may be uneven in places, the overall experience is delightful. The book's blend of humor, suspense, and heartwarming moments make it a perfect choice for crime fiction and romantic comedy fans. Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice is a satisfying and entertaining read that will leave a smile on your face.

Thank you, Netgalley and St. Martin's Press | Minotaur Books, for the free advanced copy for my honest review!

A fun, if not a bit over the top, mystery sequel as per its predecessors. As always, it ended on an interesting note that would make readers want to pick up the next. While I enjoyed the book overall, the series itself is getting repetitive and has lost some of its original magic.

I really enjoyed the first two books in the series, but I have grown less interested in the later books as the characters and situations just get more far fetched.

I loved this newest installment of Finlay Donovan! There's so much to talk about, I don't know where to start! The friendship between Finlay and Vero is perfection, Finlay is obviously such a great mom, the drama is all there and beyond, the bad guys are really doing their bad guy thing, the humor is always subtle and on point, the hint of romance is just enough, the who done it element so intriguing, and the shenanigans are off the chain! Sorry for the word vomit and run on sentences, but when I read good books like this they kind of turn my brain to mush. Elle Cosimano is fast becoming a one click author for me. Very happy. 5 stars

An addictive, easy read that kept me entertained right to the very end. I look forward to more titles by this author.

Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice by Elle Cosimano is another engaging installment in the Finlay Donovan series, blending suspense with sharp humor. The plot is fast-paced and filled with clever twists, and Finlay’s character remains as relatable and witty as ever.

While I enjoyed the novel’s thrilling moments and Cosimano’s sharp writing, I’m starting to feel a bit fatigued by the sheer chaos that seems to follow Finlay everywhere. The frenetic pace and multiple storylines, though entertaining, can be overwhelming at times.

Overall, the book is a fun read and continues to deliver the humor and suspense fans have come to expect. However, I’m hoping for a bit more stability in future installments to balance out the excitement.

This installment in the Finlay Donovan series moves at a breakneck pace. The action is non-stop, and the Finlay and Vero shenanigans are on point.

What I most enjoy about this series-besides the outrageous plots-is the cast of secondary characters and the life that Finlay balances while finding herself in the unlikeliest-and unluckiest-of situations. In this book we get the whole cast in Vegas and a lot of side plots that make interesting fodder for this high-speed read.

Thank you to the publisher via NetGalley for the opportunity to respond to this book with my honest opinions.

All together I'd rate this a 3.5/4 star series. This was good and held my attention, I just feel like this series could've wrapped up much sooner than it did. Overall, Finlay Donovan was a fun read.

As always, Finlay and Vero are getting into trouble together and it's entertaining! This time it's continuing from the previous book, so you'd have to read that one first to understand the plot. I love that they're road tripping to Atlantic City, somewhere I can picture - although I can't relate to anything that happens to them! It's fun and a quick read while trying to solve more mysteries.

4 stars!

Elle Cosimano just keeps churning out winners! I love the "Finlay Donovan" series. It's twisty, turny, funny, thrilling, mysterious, and engaging. Finlay is a quirky, interesting character, and this time, she's hitting the road! I have a blast reading about her (mis)adventures. Suspend your disbelief and you will likely enjoy this book. You really need to read the rest of the books in this series to fully appreciate its greatness and stay caught up on all of the fringe/side characters. I might get tired of these books at some point, but I'm not just yet, so I am looking forward to the next entry in the series that always sees Finlay and her nanny off on some audacious romp.

Thank you to NetGalley, Elle Cosimano, St. Martin's Press, and Minotaur Books for the complimentary ARC of this book. All opinions are my own. I was not compensated for this review.

I definitely should have read the 3rd one but this one is still understandable! Finlay Donovan book 1 and 2 were such a hit as a new reader. I do recommend reading then back to back to get the full effect of them but this is such a fan favorite series! Made me laugh and giggle but as had me guessing what will happen next.

I was just entering into book 2nd book of this series when I requested this book on netgalley. And as that book concluded I found myself done and not wanting to continuing this series. I have friends who absolutely LOVE it. For me I just felt it lacking something to hook me to come back. I love a good cozy mystery but I also as a mom find myself annoyed and just not really want to keep going.

So if you here wanting to read this book because you read that others. Then keep going. If your new to the series. Book one was great and I loved it. I just didn't make it that far. Im sorry.

***I didn't realize this book was part of a series before I started it***

That being said, it was an enjoyable read once I understood why I felt lost at times. The characters were fun, quirky and relatable. I'd like to go back and read the entire series.

This series is just a ball of fun! I thoroughly enjoyed this newest installment. It was a little more convoluted than the previous 3, but the craziness is to be expected in this series. I love the way Finlay's romance was navigated in this book and where it has the potential to go. The ending was hilarious, and it led to a potential next book! I'll definitely read any future books in this series.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an e-arc in exchange for my honest review.
