September 8th's Book Beginnings and Friday 56

It hasn't felt like a short week, but we've made it through to Friday.  That means it is time for Book Beginnings and Friday 56.

This week's book is Asking for Truffle by Dorothy St. James.

                                                              


Chocolate and mysteries?  What's not to love?  Am I right?
Here's the beginning:

The strange letter I'd received in the mail earlier today had me popping chocolate squares into my mouth as if they were candy.  Well, to be fair, they were candy.  But they were also chocolate.

And from 56% into the book:

"What do you do if you need to drive somewhere and someone else has driven off with your car?" I asked.
"Oh, for heaven's sake, child, he takes his motorbike."
"You mean to tell me Harley drives a Harley?"
He rubbed the back of his neck.  "Actually it's a Yamaha."
"You should totally trade it in for a Harley," I muttered.

Have a great weekend.  I've got a book signing planned as part of mine.
