Publisher's summary

Good friends, wine and conversation.... Great fun – until somebody turns up dead.

Adina Donati came to Washington DC to find excitement, not a dead body. When a friend is murdered, Adina is drawn into the middle of the police investigation. Tensions rise as the suspect list expands to include Adina, her friends, and colleagues at the prestigious think tank where she works. But every cloud has a silver lining. Between the nice detective, the hot new volunteer at the dog rescue center, and the newly available preppy ex-boyfriend, Adina’s dating dry spell appears near its end. That is, if she doesn’t become the next victim.

Great books

I read books out of order and didn’t get lost. Also didn’t have problems with being bored reading the first book second. They both very enjoyable and the narration was great.

Mystery

When listening to this book I felt the writing was simplistic, and wordy. It was catered to a younger reader. The storyline was alright. The narrator did a good job. I am not a fan of YA.

Good cozy mystery story within the Beltway

Think Murder is the first book in the Adina Donati, Accidental Sleuth series by Cassidy Salem. Adina works in a Washington DC policy think tank who just stumbles into a murder then it gets more personally dangerous. The characters and situations are reminiscent of those during my working years in DC. Young college grads working as data analysts, the metro, the zoo, drama and jealousy at work, even surfing the web at work, and arrogant obnoxious bosses. The murder mystery almost is secondary. The narration by Melissa Haley was good and helped bring the characters alive. Reminds me why I’m glad to be retired and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!

Loved this.

I loved this tale of mystery. The story had just enough twists to hold my interest. The main character's job at a think tank was refreshing. The narration was good and Added to the story.

Great mystery!

This is a great mystery with a great cast of characters. Can’t wait to see what happens next
I received a free copy and left my honest review

Murder and Land Appropriation

Adina and Hillary were just having a girls night out after work when Hilary is found dead in the ladies room. Adina boss volunteers her to help take over a project that Hillary was working on which unwittingly pulls her into the middle of a murder mystery and paints a target on her back. Adina starts to work on the project but ruffles feathers by asking too many questions and now she has to watch her back. In the midst of all this Adina is caught in a triangle of sexy men a handsome detective, a volunteer coworker and her ex who was her friends boyfriend talk about a twisted triangle. I enjoyed this storyline it was suspenseful, entertaining, intriguing and a little humorous. This is my honest unbiased review.

Think Murder

Adina is in the middle of a mess in this cozy mystery. Her good friend from work has been murdered and she’s the one who found her body. In the following days, it seems like somebody may be after Adina as well. This mystery had fun, interesting characters. And there was some humor to lighten the murder mystery. And Adina meets some interesting men. And there are dogs involved at the dog rescue center. I listened to the audiobook and the narration was very good.

Gets better and better with each page turned!

It took a few pages for this book to catch my interest. Then it was on, definitely one of those nooks you worry about when you get interrupted. a really good story. I hope you enjoy it too.

Interesting theme. I ❤️ learning about new things

The author clearly knows about the topic. The details of the main characters job were great.

good story

What a senseless murder for greed!!! I didn't make the connection until it was pointed out. I wished the heroine acted more attracted to the detective because he seemed a better fit and more suitable and stable than Bruce. Doesn't hurt to wish!!! I enjoyed the story. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator was good.
