What’s in the cards next for Finlay Donovan?
Finlay Donovan and her nanny/partner-in-crime Vero are in sore need of a girls’ weekend away. They plan a trip to Atlantic City, but since it’s actually a cover story to negotiate a deal with a dangerous loan shark, save Vero’s childhood crush Javi, and hunt down a stolen luxury car, it won’t be all fun and games. When Finlay’s ex-husband Steven and her mother insist on tagging along, Finlay and Vero suddenly have a few too many meddlesome passengers along for the ride.
Within hours of arriving in their seedy casino hotel, it becomes clear their rescue mission is going to be a bust. When Finlay and Vero sneak into the loan shark’s suite to search for clues, they find more than they bargained.
If Finlay can juggle a jealous ex-husband, two precocious kids, her mother’s marital issues, and a decomposing loan shark, and find Vero’s missing boyfriend, she might get out of Atlantic City in one piece. But will she fold under the pressure and come clean about the things she’s done, or be forced to double down?

The author, Elle Cosimano, masterfully weaves together a gripping plot with a perfect blend of humor and heart. Finlay's sharp wit and Vero's no-nonsense attitude create a delightful banter that adds a layer of charm to the story. The narrative takes unexpected turns at every corner, which kept me guessing and eager to turn the next page.
The stakes are higher than ever as Finlay and Vero navigate a dangerous mission involving a loan shark, a kidnapped crush, a stolen car, and a mysterious disappearance. The addition of Finlay's meddling ex-husband and her mother adds a hilarious yet touching touch to the story, creating a dynamic ensemble cast that brings the narrative to life.
Elle Cosimano's writing is witty, engaging, and filled with clever humor that had me laughing out loud. The characters are well-developed, and their relationships add depth to the overall narrative. The inclusion of a decomposing loan shark and a murder mystery adds an extra layer of intrigue that elevates this book from a simple comedy to a thrilling and captivating mystery.
As Finlay juggles her complicated personal life, the stakes in Atlantic City become higher, and the reader is taken on a wild ride filled with unexpected revelations. The pacing is spot-on, and the author keeps the suspense building until the very end.
In Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice, Elle Cosimano delivers a five-star performance, creating a perfect blend of mystery, humor, and heart. This book is a must-read for anyone looking for a thrilling and entertaining ride with characters you can't help but root for. I'm now looking forward to reading book #5!
Book 4 literally picks up right where book 3 left off, this series must be read in order or you'll be super confused!
I have to say that I've really enjoyed this series as a whole... that being said, this might be my least favorite book in the series thus far. I think this one just wasn't as funny to me as previous books. I did enjoy this one thought and read it in a day.
However, I did LOVE that Detective Nick had a more active role in book 4. And... that CLIFFHANGER! I am SO looking forward to book 5.
Thank you Elle Cosimano, Minotaur Books and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
