Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice by Elle Cosimano
5.0
I have to admit that when the opportunity was presented to read an advanced copy of "Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice", I was so excited but yet a little apprehensive. I had been a big fan of the first three Finlay Donovan books but t have to unfortunately say that the last in the series was not my favorite. So set in my anxiety - if the third was not my favorite, how would the fourth be? Had my love for the beloved Finlay and Vero subsided? Would the series be ruined for me if I read on?
Ohhhh, was I wrong!!!
Elle Cusimano succeeded in what many authors can not. Continue a series into four major books (and a .5 backstory) and end up with number 4 being as good as the first if not possibly the best!!!! Almost every character plays a role in this installment, as we follow Finlay and Vero on a "girls trip" to Atlantic City, with the kids, Finn's mom and ex-husband in tow. As we know, there were many loose ends and business to take care of so I can assure there is plenty of action, close calls, hi jinx and for sure laughs. It is so hard to write a review on this one without giving any spoilers to the first three books but every absurd, open ended story lines all connect in such a fun way.
Just as I am sitting here writing this review, I hope Elle is writing the fifth installment which I will be waiting for with no apprehension. Thank you to Minotaur Books, St, Martins Press and NetGalley for the opportunity of reading the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.
