Book Beginnings on Fridays/The Friday 56 - July 21st




This is a fun meme to do hosted by Freda's Voice. If you'd like to join on the fun go to The Friday 56.

Rules:
*Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader.
*Find any sentence that grabs you.
*Post it.
*Link it here.

It's that simple.





I'm also joining in Book Beginnings on Friday. It's hosted by Rose City Reader


I'm halfway through this one.  The excerpts are from the E-ARC.










First Chapter

"If I don't get some coffee ASAP, I'm gonna murder someone," Mayor Bob declared.

From 56% on my e-reader.

That question made me uncomfortable.  There was something about a stranger asking how much money I had to spend that made my toes curl, and not in a good way.

Synopsis from Goodreads:

CATCHING A KILLER WITHOUT SKIPPING A BEAT.

It’s springtime in Cedar River, Texas. The annual Bluebonnet Festival is brewing and the whole town is in harmony. Juni Jessup and her sisters Tansy and Maggie thought opening Sip & Spin Records was going to be their biggest hurdle, but the Frappuccino hits the fan when the mayor drops dead―poisoned by their delicious coffee.

Since Tansy was the one to brew the coffee, and Juni was the unfortunate citizen who stumbled upon the mayor’s body, the sisters find themselves in hot water. Family is everything to the Jessups, so with Tansy under suspicion, the sisters spring into action.

Between the town festivities, a good old-fashioned treasure hunt, and an accidental cow in the mix, Juni will have to pull out all the stops to find the mayor’s killer.

What do you think?  What are you sharing today?

  3. I'm reading this one myself right now. I thought about sharing quotes from it but decided to go with something else. Glad I did since you've got it covered. That opening is interesting given what happens in a couple of chapters.
