This week, I'm using lines from Iced Under by Barbara Ross.
This is the fifth in her Maine Clambake Mysteries. The book officially comes out on Tuesday, but I have an ARC, and it's fabulous! My review will be up on Tuesday for release day.
Here's the opening:
Everyone who could leave town had left.
And I loved getting to pick out these lines from page 56:
"What have you been up to?" he asked.
"You won't believe it. Someone sent my mother a diamond necklace in the mail. Anonymously."
And that wraps it up for this week. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas this weekend. If you celebrate another holiday, I hope it is very happy for you.
Getting a diamond necklace through the mail? Ooh! But that might be a little fishy. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, my, I'm guessing that an anonymous diamond necklace will create all kinds of trouble! Thanks for sharing...and here's mine: “THE GIRL BEFORE”
ReplyDeleteOkay. Now I really want to read this one to find out who sent the necklace and why. I dug into TBR mountain to read Gameboard of the Gods by Richelle Mead this week. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThis one sounds like a great read. My mystery lovers at the library will like. Quick question, do you know if there are any cozy mystery reading challenges going for 2017?
ReplyDeleteSounds good! I read the second one ages ago and really enjoyed it. This is definitely a series I need to revisit soon. I want to know what's up with the diamond necklace!
ReplyDeleteWish someone would anonymously or otherwise send me a diamond necklace in the mail... lol
ReplyDeleteHappy holidays to all!
Almost makes me hungry... :)
