First things first IS THERE GOING TO BE ANOTHER BOOK!?!

I thought this was the last one but that ending….

I have absolutely loved this whole series. The mystery, the comedy, friendship, the romance ahhh it is all so good!!

I have recommended this series to everyone I know!

I absolute love the way Elle tells a story. I have read all these books within 1-2 days of starting each.

I have loved following each character throughout this series - even Steven! I know crazy right! Haha

You will not regret reading these books!

Seriously, go read them. Now.

Another wild, wacky Finlay & Vero weekend. And once again, I have no idea how Finn and Vero manage to do everything they do…
A) without getting caught red-handed
B) with the tiny little number of hours they always seem to have
C) without giving themselves away
D) and with everyone around!!!

Also, why do they make such ridiculous decisions?!?! I suppose that’s part of the hilarity and charm of these books. This one ties up much of the prior three with a neat little bow…until the end, lol.

Overall, great read that I enjoyed very much (despite the stress and overwhelming sense of dread that I get in the pit of my stomach because they are chaos magnets and also Finlay’s kids are at the hellion stage).

This picks up immediately after we last left Finlay and Vero trying to track down a missing Javi and an a stolen expensive sports car, all while trying to avoid the mob boss goons set on tracking Finlay down. Which would be hard enough if they didn't also end up on a road trip to Atlantic City accompanied by 2 kids, a mother, an ex-husband, and a cop boyfriend, not to mention the expired detective on the mobs payroll. This time it will be all they can do to keep up appearances of a relaxed weekend while trying to stay alive, find and rescue Javi, and solve the case of the missing thumb drive, the one piece of evidence that can tie Finlay to all of the crimes and ruin any chance of a future with hot cop Nick. All while keeping the kids happy and taking care of a murder victim's dog. Will this adventure be the end of the duo? Or will they be able to pull it all together and stay alive?

This is a great addition to this series. I really liked that it wrapped up a bunch of loose strings for the over-arching storyline and leaves room to move onto the next thread of their lives. There's plenty of humor to go around, and the close calls and action scenes are well written. I'm not sure that having the kids so close to the danger worked for me, but the rest of the mishaps with the characters were quite entertaining. It was also good to see all of the character growth for all of the side characters and not just the main ones.

Fun, fun, fun! Traveling and sleuthing with Finlay Donovan is always an adventure. This time she’s in Atlantic City chasing the bad guys with her mother, ex husband, young children, their nanny, hunky boyfriend and others in tow. A fast-paced, humorous, exciting adventure!

Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the opportunity to read this ARC.

This was an enjoyable light-hearted mystery. I really liked the characters and the storyline of this book. Finlay Donovan Rolls The Dice is book four in the Finlay Donovan series. This was my first book in this series and even though it could be read on its own. I think I would have enjoyed it more had I read the previous books first. I think this is a series that I could really love and I look forward to reading the other books in this series.

I loved being back in Finlay and Vero’s world! I will say with this one, I got a little tired of their dumb mistakes. I didn’t dislike this book but I think it was my least favorite in the series. But I will keep reading them!

I've read all the Finlay Donovan stories and was thrilled to request and be approved for this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This is by far the funniest of the series. Finlay and Vero are in trouble again. This time they head to Atlantic City to save Vero's cousin, who has been kidnapped. This one has it all - mobsters, bad cops, the hot detective, and an annoying ex-husband. There were places I laughed out loud.

very good closure to the series. I enjoyed Finlay again. she is always up to something funny. would reccomend for easy mystery and light reading

Cosimano does it again!!! This series just continues to be unmatched in it's enjoyment factor. I am addicted to Finlay and Vero and their hijinx and cannot wait to see what they get up to next!

As is the theme in this series, you have to suspend reality a bit and just know that things are going to be wild and out of control. But our MC's are so funny and relatable, and the story so entertaining and engrossing, you just don't care.

I don't want to give too much away but here is what's inside and what you can expect: dead bodies, explosions, sexy times with officer foxy, a dog named Kevin Bacon, sleuthing, adventures at a strip club, and OF COURSE that ending with a cliffhanger!!!!

Anxiously awaiting book five now!

The latest installment in the Finlay Donovan series continues the winning streak of the previous three books. Following Finlay, Vero, and essentially the rest of Finlay’s family to Atlantic City, I felt as if I had my own seat in the car. I was along for the ride. Of course, the series’ signature humor was on full display, making this a joy to read.

I absolutely love the Finlay Donovan series. As soon as I read the first book, I was sucked in. I got my mom into the series too. I love her being a mystery writer and accidentally hit man?? Lol I was so happy to get an advanced copy of the 4th book in the series and it did not disappoint

What a fun book. Unfortunately I have not read the prequels. This book was amusing and at moments, laugh out loud funny! The cast of characters are entertaining. I can't wait to read books 1-3.

Thank you to NetGalley and Minotaur Books for this eARC in exchange for an honest review!

Let me start off by just saying WOW!! I think this just may be my new favorite book in the series! It was SO fun and easy to read, SO fast paced, and SO hard to put down!
I can't tell if Finlay and Vero have no luck or if they have all the luck but they're sure smart enough to get out of anything! I can tell Cosimano spent a lot of time figuring out the details involved in this book because it was so well told that it felt like I was in the book with the characters! Some of the events that took place did seem a little unrealistic and I lost track of timeline a couple times but I still had so much fun reading!
One of my favorite things about this story was seeing so much more of all the side characters like Finlay's family, Javi, and even Sam. And while Cosimano has said that's it's not necessary, I think reading Vero's short story before reading this book is the best way to go. In reading the short story you see a lot of backstory on Vero and Javi and then when reading this book you have some questions answered.
I'm curious to see where the next book will go and if it will be the conclusion or if Cosimano will keep it going! I'm only a little sad that I was able to read this one so early because now I have to wait even longer for the next!!

I just couldn't get into this one. I am not a "series" reader but I loved the first one so I continued on. Things just start being repetitive with stories like this. I am also not a fan of having to read books in order and these definitely build on each other. I will say these are great cozy mystery books but they just aren't for me.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

I think this might be my new favorite Katherine Center book! Hello Stranger is the sweetest, swooniest, most heartwarming book and will easily be one of my top reads for 2023.

The whole storyline was fascinating to me, as I’d never known anything about face blindness before. Main character Sadie was so endearing and I was truly sad to say goodbye to her. Her personal growth fought for center stage in this book with the two adorable men she was falling for. Every aspect of this story is gold!

This is an absolute must-read!

Elle Cosimano DOES. IT. AGAIN.

Another absolutely amazing adventure with Finlay and her crew, and man did the WHOLE crew show up!!! Picking up right where we left off in the third installment, Finlay and Vero are on the search to find Javi after getting too deeply mixed in with loan sharks and the mob. Determined to find Vero’s crush and clear their names (as much as they can, anyways) Finlay and Vero head to Atlantic City for what was supposed to be a “girls weekend”. Instead, the entire family comes along and Finlay is left having to balance her ex husband, new boyfriend, two kids, her mom, her sister, and other members of the police force all while the body of a loan shark decomposes in a bathtub in a hotel room.

Goodness, do I love this series so darn much. The banter between Finlay and Vero is next level and absolutely hilarious. I can’t tell you how many times I laughed because of them alone, not to mention all the completely ridiculous situations they get themselves into. How does it seem that everything goes incredibly wrong for them just to go perfectly right so that they get themself out of their mess? I’ll never know but I eat it up. Is it ridiculous and far-fetched? YES. But it WORKS.

There are books you read for the vibes and this is definitely one of them. The Finlay Donovan series is just an all around great time from start to finish. I enjoy every moment I am in these books with these incredible characters (minus Steven, how is he still such a piece of work?!) It had been awhile since I read the previous books but this fourth installment did an incredible job of reminding me of each character when they were reintroduced while still keeping me fully engaged with the story. And that CLIFFHANGER!!! I already cannot wait to read the next one!

4.5 stars! Oh boy what a fun ride. Honest to god I love this series and these character so much. For those out there that thought book 3 didn't have enough Vero and Fin, rest assured book 4 is back to team Vero and Fin. The antics they got up to in this book were hilarious. I found myself laughing out loud. The plat was fast paced and buttoned up things up really well too.

Go into this one with an open mind and just have FUN. I love the escape I feel when reading this series and just go with the flow.

Read if you like:
- Fast paced action
- Funny dialouge
- All the Vero and Fin antics
- Big family / FCPD roadtrip
- Mysterious murders
- Detective Nick
- The perfect cozy mystery

You know that show you skip all social things for because you've "got plans". Before it starts you make sure you've got your popcorn and you settle in with your fluffy blanket, popcorn and wine and just grin because you know the next hour is worth skipping drinks with your work buddies.
That’s the Finlay series. If you’ve read the first three books, stop reading renewed reviews. Go get your wine, popcorn and blanket and cancel your plans. If you haven’t read any of the series yet, you're in for a treat. Stop reading reviews and start reading book 1!

"Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice" by Elle Cosimano is Book #4 in the "Finlay Donovan Series"!

Do you know how hard it is to begin this review without a spoiler from the previous book?

Under the guise of a girls' weekend, Finlay and Vero are headed to Atlantic City when Finlay's mother, ex-husband Stephen, and their two adorable kids insist on tagging along. Finlay and Vera feel like their adventure is beginning with all the odds against them.

Experiencing roadblock after roadblock from family, friends, lovers, and bad guys, Finlay and Vero are doubling down on this crapshoot with every gimmick and wild card they can line up. This isn't Penny ante poker they're playing and the stakes are high for these two female super sleuths to hit the jackpot...

"Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice" picks up right where Book #3 - "Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun" leaves off. It takes a while for the familiar rhythm of this series to kick in but once it does the shenanigans begin and the entertainment delivers full-on.

"Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice" has an almost perfect ending with a segue into the next book that may take a different direction with a reoccurring character who was absent in this book taking center stage in the storyline. I'll be there for Book #5 in the "Finlay Donovan Series" and recommend all previous books to be read in chronological order for the best experience.

3.75⭐rounded up!

Thank you to St. Martin's Press - Minotaur Books for a widget of this ARC through NetGalley. It has been an honor to give my honest and voluntary review.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for an e-galley of Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice.

I could not wait to read the next adventure of Finlay and Vera and Elle did not disappoint! I devoured this book in record time - I couldn't put it down.

Finlay and Vera are now trapped between a loan shark and a mob boss. What else could go wrong at this point? After leaving the disaster of the police academy behind, Finlay and Vera are ready to tackle their next problem. Which requires a quick trip to Atlantic City...with the ex, kids, and mother in tow. Thinly disguised as a "girls trip". Finlay has one mission - rescue Javi from the loan shark. And whatever else pops up. Dead bodies, missing dogs, and car chases later...Vera and Finlay hope that they can put everything to bed. Until another body pops up.
