A USA TODAY BESTSELLER!From New York Times bestseller Elle Cosimano comes Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice—the fiercely anticipated next installment in the beloved Finlay Donovan series."Finlay Donovan is irresistible!"—Janet EvanovichFinlay 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 odds are—seeing as 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 car—it won’t be all fun and games. When Finlay’s ex-husband Steven and her mother insist on tagging along too, 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. Javi’s kidnapper, Marco, refuses to negotiate, demanding payment in full in exchange for Javi’s life. But that’s not all—he insists on knowing the whereabouts of his missing nephew, Ike, who mysteriously disappeared. Unable to confess what really happened to Ike, Finlay and Vero are forced to come up with a new plan: sleuth out the location of Javi and the Aston Martin, then steal them both back.But when they sneak into the loan shark’s suite to search for clues, they find more than they bargained for—Marco's already dead. They don’t have a clue who murdered him, only that they themselves have a very convincing motive. Then four members of the police department unexpectedly show up in town, also looking for Ike—and after Finlay's night with hot cop Nick at the police academy, he’s a little too eager to keep her close to his side.If Finlay can juggle a jealous ex-husband, two precocious kids, her mother’s marital issues, 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?

"I binged all 3 previous Finlay Donovan audiobooks and was so excited to receive this as an advanced listener's copy audiobook. The series has EVERYTHING: mystery, suspense, murder, romance, comedy, a relatable MC with a hilarious kickass sidekick... the list goes on. I highly recommend if you like dark comedy. It definitely requires suspending disbelief because it's a bit over the top (think Barry or The White Lotus) but it totally works. However, after 4 books, the formula is becoming a bit repetitive. Overall, a solid and laugh out loud addition to the series... I'm just not sure how many more are going to work."
"<br/>In the fourth installment of the Finlay Donovan series, Finlay and Vero find themselves with more baggage on their trip to Atlantic City than they bargained for. How are they supposed to find Vero’s kidnapped ex-boyfriend, hide dead bodies, find a stolen car, and navigate criminal underground with an ex-husband, two kids, a mother, a handful of detectives and a dirty cop watching their every move? <br/><br/>Unfortunately, this was not my favorite Finlay Donovan novel. I think this is a series that I prefer over audio - something about reading it gave me more anxiety than normal when our favorite duo got up to their usual antics of hiding bodies that they should have just reported to the police. <br/><br/>I really struggled to get through the first 40% of the book, it took a while to adjust to the slower pacing after all of the action from third book. Things picked up eventually, and the final 15% had me ignoring all other responsibilities because there wasn’t a chance in hell I was putting the book down before I finished it. <br/><br/>Overall, this series as a whole is still four stars for me."
