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 just finished reading this.  It's a short cozy mystery.  It's so short that I picked my excerpt at 6% instead of 56% today.

First Chapter

"Oh my gosh, Mom.  These cherries are amazing!" Vi said as she plucked another ruby red fruit from the bowl on the kitchen.

From 6% on my e-reader...

"I don't know.  I'm not sure I can stand touching and pitting all those cherries."

I wasn't concerned about making a delicious cherry pie. 

I already knew my pie would be scrumptious, even if I hated the filling inside...

Synopsis from Goodreads:

This is a short story that can be read as a stand-alone or as a prologue to the Olivia Faulkner Mysteries series. It is shorter than the rest of the books in the series which are all full length novels.

Olivia planned on a summer road trip across the country, but she ends up stuck in her childhood home in Grand Arbor Township when her camper van breaks down. Good thing there's a $1000 grand prize in this year's Grand Arbor Cherry Festival Pie Baking Contest... The problem is--somebody is determined to make sure nobody wins.

Can Olivia find out who's sabotaging the contest or will this year be the last cherry festival in Grand Arbor?
