Nick O’Flannigan thought he was just starting out on a freelance photography assignment. 

But when he arrives in Olympia, he learns that there have been two overdoses in hospitals in the last week, both seemingly connected. With his keen eye for detail, he notices something in the photos that no one else sees. 

But how will he, an out of town photographer and amateur sleuth, get that information to the right authorities before another patient dies?
“A good whodunnit read.” (John Hussar)

You won’t find the answer until the very end of this powerful pause-resister of a travel mystery. If you love Jack McEvoy, you’ll love this debut in the Capital City Murders series.

My thoughts:

Overdoses in Olympia is the first in a trio of mystery novellas.  They feature Nick a photographer who is traveling from US capital to US capital to take photographs for a magazine.  On his first stop, Olympia, Washington, he gets caught up in a mystery surrounding mysterious overdoses at the local hospital.

I quite enjoyed this quick story.  It's kind of like a 5 minute mystery.  Nick stumbles on a clue and ends up being the person to solve the mystery. I also liked Nick's character.  He was interesting and someone I look forward to following on his journey across the country.  The narrator was also enjoyable to listen to.  Stay tuned, I'll be reviewing the next mystery in September.  This time in Salem, Oregon.  I do recommend this one if you are in the mood for a quick audiobook, maybe for your daily commute.
