Book Beginnings on Friday and Friday 56 are now combined into one blogging event. It is hosted by Olivia @ Bemused & Bookish and Anne @ Head Full of Books. The directions are to post two snippets. One is from the beginning of the book and the second is from page 56 or any other page of the book you are currently reading.
I just finished listening to this one.
Beginning:
"If you tell anyone about this, I'm gonna have to kill you," I said, staring my best friend squarely in the eye.
Second Snippet - This is from chapter one of the e-book...
As I hurried through the parking lot, I debated whether I was being dramatic.
Synopsis from Goodreads:
Lana Lee runs her family's Chinese restaurant in Cleveland's Asia Village like nobody's business. When it comes to actual cooking, however, she's known to be about a step up from boiling rice. So Lana decides to go to culinary school on the sly--and prove that she has what it takes in the kitchen after all. But when course instructor Margo Chan turns up dead after class, Lana suddenly finds herself on the case, frying pan in hand.
Since she was the one who discovered the body, Lana must do double duty in finding the killer and clearing her name. Now, with or without the help of her boyfriend Detective Adam Trudeau, Lana launches her own investigation into Margo's life and mysterious death. Doing so leads her on a wild goose chase to and from the culinary school--and all the way back to the Ho-Lee noodle shop, where the guilty party may be closer than Lana thinks.
My thoughts...
I always enjoy listening to this one on audio. My only complaint is that I'm always hungry for Chinese food when I'm listening to it. It's a fun cozy mystery series and I love the main character as well as her family and friends.
What are you sharing this week?
That first snippet made me laugh because it is something my siblings would say to each other.
ReplyDeleteI need to get back to this series! I read this one earlier this year and enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteThis does sound like a fun - and hunger inducing - story!
ReplyDeleteJust the title made me hungry!
ReplyDeleteI like the second snippet because I have been asking that about myself before, lol.
If my cooking class teacher turned up dead, I'd probably never go back to class!
ReplyDeleteThat looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteThat book cover is amazing!
