De: Cassidy Salem

Narrado por: Melissa Haley

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.

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.

Adina is pulled into a murder

Think Murder is a new novel by Cassidy Salem. I really enjoyed this book. I thought the narrator, Melissa Haley, was outstanding in her performance. The characters are well developed and believable. The story begins with Adina Donati having happy hour with a friend. When that friend is murdered, happy hour is over and Adina finds herself in the middle of a mystery. I really liked how the story is developed. The story is paced perfectly and I didn’t want to pause the audio because I wanted to know what happened next. Adina, with the help of detective Jonathan and her friends work to find the killer; if Adina can stay alive! I received a free code and am leaving my review voluntarily.

Entertaining cozy mystery

Cassidy Salem is a new author to me as is the narrator Melissa Haley. This was a good mystery that was well written and entertaining. This is the first book in the series about Adina Donati, who after discovering the body of her friend becomes an amateur sleuth. As she becomes more invested in finding out what happened to her friend, Adina will not only uncover secrets and lies, she will also become a target herself.
Although not a particularly long read, Ms.Salem managed to pack a lot into the story. Adina was a likeable character and was easy to relate to and I could easily picture the hustle and bustle of Washington D.C. as I was listening. I did feel that the narrators’ male voices were a bit of a let down, but then that is just my opinion; it didn’t stop me from enjoying the story and other than that she was easy to listen too.

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.
