August 11th's Book Beginnings and Friday 56

We've made it to Friday and you know what that means - Book Beginnings and Friday 56 time.

This week's book is Hollywood Homicide, the debut mystery from Kellye Garrett.


                                                                  

This is the first in a new series.  I finished the book earlier this week.  Assuming I can get my review written, I'll be reviewing it on Monday.  I really enjoyed it.

Here's how the book begins:

If this were some cheesy TV show, the screen would have cut to black so the network could spend the next five minutes trying to get you to buy toothpaste you already bought anyway.  It wasn't.  Instead, Emme came back.  "Ben's calling the police.  They won't use their sirens."

Seriously, if you like mysteries, you really need to give this book a shot.  I hope you'll come back on Monday to see why I feel it is worth your time.
