Dying for Data

Adina Donati, Accidental Sleuth, Book 2

By: Cassidy Salem

Narrated by: Melissa Haley

A rival suitor and a deadly attack are enough to put a damper on any date.

Just when Adina’s social life is looking up, her night out is interrupted by the scream of police sirens. Afraid her bartender boyfriend might be accused of murder, Adina’s neighbor enlists her assistance, and in the process exposes her to the seamier side of illegal immigration and crime in the city.

Hard as she tries to limit her involvement, the more Adina learns, the more she needs to know - until a case of mistaken identity lands her in hot water. Will she uncover the truth before it’s too late?

Story had several plot twists

I liked this story and the fact that there were plot twists which kept my interest. This book is good for any age as there are no drugs, sex or cursing. This book is a typical cozy mystery as it's easy to listen to. Although it isn't as in depth as some more well known authors, the storyline does have some plot twists and good character development. I agree with another reviewer that there's too many detailed references to decor and/or the type and color of clothes to wear. I don't care about those things, so less is more for me, but I did like the story. The narration was fine except for the fact that sometimes when a narrator is trying to do several voices, there's always one that's what I call a whisper shout, which I don't enjoy hearing. I'd prefer they simply use their own voice rather than something so unnatural. Overall the book is an enjoyable listen and I encourage others to give it a listen.

Enjoying the series

Dying for Data is a clean cozy mystery with likable characters and interesting twists. This is the second book in the series, but could be enjoyed as a stand alone.

could have easily been a thriller

I listened to this book. The narrator did a good job except for Matt’s voice was too rasping & I had a hard time paying attention to him. Also, in one chapter there was a lot of noise in the background of the track.

I was glad to see the relationship dilema for Adina resolved by the end of the book. I am not a fan of love triangles.
The accidental kidnapping of Adina was comical in a way but I could feel the terror she must have felt.

I enjoyed the mystery and writing enough to give another book in this series a try.

Dying for Data

Great cozy mystery! Adina has gotten herself in danger in this mystery. She seems to have a knack of unknowingly getting herself into trouble. It seems there is something shady going on. And someone has been murdered. Adina is curious to know why. There’s a little romance in the story and some dogs as well.

Great book in a great series

A great book in a great series but also works as a standalone. Can’t wait to see what happens next
