This week, I'm featuring Murder on Astor Place by Victoria Thompson.
I must confess, I've had this book for years, and I'm just now getting around to reading it. And I finished it within the last half hour, too. I'm aiming for the review to be up on Friday of next week.
But for today's purposes, we are going with a couple of teasers, starting with the first line:
At first Sarah thought the tinkling of the bell was part of her dream.
And jumping ahead to page 56, we find:
But Sarah couldn't imagine why Alicia VanDamn, a child of wealth and privilege, had seemed to troubled. Now she might never find out.
That's it for this week. Hope you have a great weekend!
I recently read this one too. Same situation, it had been on my stack for years. Come see what book I chose this week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI haven't had this book as long as you, Mark, but also hadn't gotten around to reading it. I put it on my 20 Books of Summer Challenge list, so -- hopefully -- I'll be right behind you reading it!
ReplyDeleteI have at least 3 books from this series on my shelf for who knows how long and I'm embarrassed to say I haven't read even one! This sounds really good. I'm wondering why Alicia is so troubled too!
ReplyDeleteI knew I'd seen this somewhere. It was on Kathy's blog! Looks like a good one. When does the story take place. Sounds like it might be an earlier period?

I'm so intrigued by that 56. I also am reminded of how awkward that sleep stage is, where you're not sure if you're dreaming or awake. Sounds like a good read! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteGlad you were able to get around to it! :)
ReplyDeleteCheck out my Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings).
This looks like an interesting series. I look forward to your review. Happy Reading!
