What does that have to do with Book Beginnings and Friday 56 for the week? Absolutely nothing! So let's get to it.
The book this week is Farmed and Dangerous by Edith Maxwell.
This is the third in her local foods mystery series. And it begins like this:
Cameron Flaherty sidestepped in surprise as a tall man with gleaming skin the color of dark-roasted coffee beans stormed into the institutional kitchen at Moran Manor Assisted Living, his deep brown eyes flashing.
And skipping ahead to 56% into this e-ARC (I'm only 30% of the way into it myself):
The car kept coming. She tried to push herself up but slipped again. She waved her arms in front of her. Surely the driver would see her. Surely he would stop.
And now I'm anxious to watch up to that point in the book and find out what is happening there.
It's not a series I'm familiar with but I think I need to be!
ReplyDeleteThe series is fun. Hope you enjoy.
DeleteGood luck with your run tomorrow.

Thank you very much.
DeleteThese are both exciting quotes, we don't get that too often. Enjoy your mud run, have you done one before?
ReplyDeletehere's my Friday quotes
Yeah, I certainly can't complain about the quote.
DeleteThis is my sixth year doing the Camp Pendleton Mud Run, and I do other mud runs throughout the year as well.
I haven't started this series yet, but it sounds like I need to! I'd love for you to check out mine ... http://lisaksbookthoughts.blogspot.com/2015/06/its-cozy-food-friday-that-means-its.html
ReplyDeleteThere are only three books in the series so far, so you aren't too far behind - yet. If you're like me, you'll find yourself several more books behind before you realize it.
DeleteI hope that guy does see her. That first guy seems awfully angry.
ReplyDeleteI don't know (yet), but I'm suspecting the guy might be aiming for her. I'll find out soonish.
DeleteI love the description here of what the tall man looks like and the action taking place; I can visualize it right away!
ReplyDeleteGood luck in the Mud Run. We just moved from CA to D.C. and am missing the west coast.
Hope you learn to love DC, although I know I would miss CA too much if I moved.
DeleteHave a great time at the mud run!
ReplyDeleteThe cover reminded me of Christmas. LOL
Somehow I don't think he stopped...
Happy weekend!
The cover reminds me of Christmas as well. The book is set in winter, but not at Christmas.
DeleteOh no! Hoping the car stops! Great excerpt.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my Friday 56
I had no idea what I'd find when I turned to that section of the book, and I was thrilled to find that excerpt. Still can't wait to find out what is really happening.
DeleteI hope he stops and I'm wondering what she's doing in the road, alone. This looks like a fun series!

I will say this, the "she" in the 56 is the main character of the series, so I'm sure that gives you so clue whether he stopped or not.
