December 16th's Book Beginnings and Friday 56

We are down to three Fridays left in 2016.  What better way to celebrate than with another edition of Book Beginnings and Friday 56.

This week's book is Shadow of Doubt by Nancy Cole Silverman.

                                                            


This is the first in a series with an LA radio reporter as the main character.  As you'd expect with a mystery set in LA, Hollywood plays a big part in the story, which is why we get this as an opening line:

"...and finally, I'd like to thank my agent, Pepper Millhouse."

Okay, as first lines go, it's not an attention getting.  But there is this on page 56:

No comment!  Sarah might as well have hung the noose right around Sam's neck.  I didn't think there was a listener tuned to the station who didn't think Sam was guilt.

I finished the book earlier today, and it is well worth reading.  My full review will be up next week, so if these teaser intrigued you, I hope you'll come back to find out more.

Have a wonderful weekend!
