August 19th's Book Beginnings and Friday 56

Time again for Book Beginnings and Friday 56.

This week I'm going to feature No Virgin Island by C. Michele Dorsey.

                                                    


A mystery set in the US Virgin Islands?  Yes, please!

Here's how the book begins:
Sabrina Salter was a woman who didn't like surprises, even nice ones.

And jumping ahead to page 56, we find this exchange:

"And then?" Neil asked as he dipped a conch friter into green habanera hot sauce.
"And then he did it again."

I finished this book up over the weekend.  Look for my review coming up on Monday.

  3. I read this one when it was first published and enjoyed it. I also enjoyed the setting. This week I am spotlighting The Crepes of Wrath by Sarah Fox. Happy reading!

  4. You've sold me! The dribbles of blood on the cover have me curious too.

  5. Oh I'm curious! I want to know what the 56 is talking about and I'm kind of with Sabrina on not liking surprises. Plus I'm definitely in favor of a book set in the US Virgin Islands!
