But that's not why we're here. We're here for Book Beginnings and Friday 56.
This week's book is Mayhem at the Orient Express by Kylie Logan.
Here's how it starts:
If it weren't for Jerry Garcia peeing on the pansies, I never would have joined the League of Literary Ladies.
And from page 56, we get:
"Not something you'd expect here on the island." I didn't realize I'd spoken out loud until I heard the sound of my own voice. It was so small, it was nearly lost beneath the sounds of the crackling flames and the howling winds outside.
This really was a great book. In fact, here's my review if you are interested in learning more.
I like both the quotes!

Here is my Friday 56 post!
I'm glad you liked both posts.
DeleteGreat excerpts. The cover and title intrigue me, and the opening tells me that the story is going to have humor. Sounds like a book I'd enjoy.

Yep, that opener is a real attention getting.
DeleteI do hope that Jerry Garcia is some sort of pet and not a person! Sounds like a fun mystery. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteJerry Garcia is the neighbor's cat. Great. Now I've spoiled the first page. :)
