February 5th's Book Beginnings and Friday 56

It's Friday!  It's Friday!  That must mean it is time for Book Beginnings and Friday 56.

This week's book is Bronzed Betrayals, the fifth Bodies of Art Mystery by Ritter Ames


This is a fun book.  I recommend the series, and I definitely recommend you read them in order.

Here's how the book begins.

The club relied on the trendy darkness mixed with strobing colored lights to create an atmosphere I'd tried to avoid since the year after college.

From page 56, we find this exchange between a reporter and Laurel, the main character:

"There's a report that ties you to a death overnight," he said.
"And you want a confirmation?  Okay, I'm not dead."

I'll be reviewing this book next Thursday.  I hope you have a fantastic weekend and come back next week to read my full review.
