Rules:
*Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader.

It's that simple.

I'll be reading this one soon.

Book Beginnings...

I looked at my reflection in the mirror one last time and smiled at myself. I really did it. 

From chapter 6 on my e-reader.

The police line was outside City Hall, but that didn't bother me; I could get in.

Synopsis from Goodreads:

A Dead Body. A Charming Suspect. A Librarian Who Won’t Back Down.When a city hall employee turns up dead, all eyes land on the town’s golden boy—a beloved businessman with political ambitions and secrets to hide. But Lila Hartley, Willow Creek’s resident librarian and amateur sleuth, senses something doesn’t add up.

Armed with her razor-sharp instincts, a fearless best friend named Zoe, and Whiskers—the sassiest cat in town—Lila begins pulling at threads the killer hoped would stay buried. The deeper she digs, the darker the truth becomes.

Someone in Willow Creek is hiding more than lies. And they’ll do whatever it takes to keep Lila quiet.

If she wants to survive, Lila must solve the case before the killer turns the page on her final chapter.
