As the fourth book in the Elle Cosimano Finlay Donovan series, Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice picks up right where our heroines left off at the end of the previous story. It opens with a hilarious scene which sets the stage for a crazy adventure to New Jersey. When Vero’s childhood friend and former boyfriend Javi is kidnapped by the loan shark who seeks repayment for her lost marker, Finlay decides they need a girls’ trip to Atlantic City to save him. Steven won’t allow Finlay to take the kids out of state without him, and then her mother shows up and wants in on the road trip as well. What could possibly go wrong?

Of course, the rescue mission gets more difficult with the arrival of some police friends from back home. Throw in a couple of dead bodies, a missing car, and more unexpected familiar faces and Finlay is about to lose her mind. This is a fun read with Weekend at Bernie’s meets Oceans 11 vibes. Fans of Vero and Finlay’s previous stories will devour this one, too. Laughter is 100% guaranteed!
