Seize Your Copy Think Murder Drafted By Cassidy Salem Released As EText

Donati is the new Nancy Drew hmmm, or maybe she'd be Bess, . . , all grown up and a single young professional working at a prestigious think tank in Washington D, C. What makes this story a bit more realistic than a Nancy Drew story is that for the most part, Adina does the responsible thing in passing on information she stumbles across to the proper authority namely, the attractive detective, Jonathan Saks, who may or may not be interested in a relationship beyond the case.
Author Cassidy Salem does a great job of establishing the setting in D, C. and clearly knows the city and its dwellers well, but it is her characterization that really shines, From the lovable neighbor, Daniel Sullivan, to the loathsome new boss, Dr, Stickler, Salem gives readers exactly the right information to create a definite profile and impression of each character, which keeps each memorable and unique.
She also expertly throws hints at what's coming, but just as often Salem throws foils that misdirect and muddyup the whodunnit part of the mystery.
The resolution of the story works well as is, but it's setup in a way that Adina's story may very well continue into subsequent books! Full review on Hall Ways Blog sitelink blogspot. com/ According to the bio following the book, this is the author's first work of fiction, I hope it is not her last, Her mystery is well developed but rushes too quickly to the conclusion, I hope in her next book, the resolution will be as well crafted as her set up deserves, The lead character is likable and you root for her, I would like to see further books in this series, if it will be a series, deepen her relationships with her friends, family and budding romantic interests.
In all, a very promising first entry, demostrating the skill of the author in an enjoyable read, fast easy read with just the right amount of mystery and romance, I read this book rather quickly, I don't regularly read mysteries of the cozy variety, Although all the points of a thrilling story were present, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when I'd finished it.
Wait, That's it I suppose the even keel of emotions throughout the book may be typical for the genre Adina didn't seem quite upset enough over finding her murdered best friend.
It appeared her lukewarm romantic interest in two different men mitigated her distress pretty quickly, When she uncovered political secrets that could have triggered the killing, I thought, 'here we go this is an interesting angle,' but again, even with attempted kidnapping, the tension didn't seem to rise.
The drama appears at the office amongst coworkers and the jealousy between volunteers at the animal shelter, Alternate suspects were hinted at with little to no reason behind the suggestions and those spins didn't take root, they could have been played out to the benefit of the mystery.
So many times, I thought scenes were building to an event, 'maybe this will happen,' I thought, 'or maybe that,' but really, nothing happened.
Even though Adina uncovered the

clues that led to the case being solved, once those details were known, the investigator figured it all out and then just dumped the info into Adina's and the reader's lap.
Boom done. All we're left with going into the next book is wondering which man Adina will choose, If you enjoy a book with a realistic setting and clean romance that entails murder, kidnapping, and political intrigue but reads quickly and easily without making your emotions reel and doesn't keep you awake at night, perhaps you'll enjoy this book.
The book description pretty much sums up the story except for the finite details which the author introduces in each new chapter.
When starting the book, I first felt like I was reading a Stephanie Plum story as the main character, Adina stumbles across information that might help solve the murder.
I did find the relationship between Adina and the investigating detective to be much too cozy for a murder investigation but their shared information eventually solves the case.


I continued to secondguess who the murderer was, initially, hanging my hat on the boyfriend and then later on Bruce, the new helper at the dog shelter.
However, when guessing at the motive, I found myself way in left field,

I especially enjoyed the interfacing between Adina and her coworkers at the Think Tank their gossiping, jealousies, and meanness are typical of most office environments that I had experienced.
And a big plus for her boss who was quite supportive and compassionate during her ordeal they are far and few in between.


Overall, the story kept my interest throughout compliments to the author for including so many twists and turns, I'd recommend Think Murder by Cassidy Salem to anyone looking for an afternoon of 'who done it' entertainment, Think Murder by Cassidy Salem is a lukewarm murder mystery that opens with a promise of delivering but drifts into harmless chitchat and office gossip soon after.
Adina is shocked to find the dead body of her friend who was sipping wine with her just a few minutes ago and the investigation begins but its pace is so slow that it couldnt hold my attention.


I wonder how I could finish it! I was put off by unnecessary description lack of focus and weak plot.
Twice I abandoned it to read another book, It is just an average book with some stark flaws, The style of writing doesnt suit the murder mystery, as it oscillates between romance and slow unveiling of secrets, Parallel themes bump into each other, if you like romance dominating investigations, then this book is for you,
I enjoyed this book, there is a nice mix of mystery solving, a complicated love interest and home life, The story wasn't to complicated and flowed along nicely, It was fairly short but a good way to fill in a few hours, The mystery was interesting if a bit obvious, with no real twist and working in a think tank is a different career choice for the main character, although gossiping and playing computer games seemed to be the majority of the work done.
There was some nice characters and I liked the fun of the dog shelter, I nice start to a new series that I would like to see develop,
Every Wednesday Adina and her best friend Hilary break up the week by going to the local pub near there office for happy hour but when Hilary goes to the toilet and doesn't return, Adina gets worried and goes to find her.
Only to find her friend, When the police begin to treat it like murder the office gossip starts to fly and as Hilary was eating Adina ex boyfriend and had the better job, Adina becomes the number one suspect.
It doesn't help things when Adina is asked to work on Hilary's report for the boss, Adina starts to get the feeling that her friend might have been the target over something that happened at work, when she gets the sense she is being followed.
Helping the police with there inquiries gets her in trouble with her boss but she has to keep on looking in to the matter when she receives a threatening note and looks like she might be the next victim.
Can she find out Tqhe motive behind her friends death
The narrator was okay but I found I had to slow down the listening speed of the story because she spoke a bit to fast for me to take it in.
Once I did that I enjoyed the story, I
