It's been a few weeks. Time to jump back into doing Friday Posts. As usual, I will be linking up to:
Book Beginnings
First Line Friday
Friday 56
Book Blogger Hop
My quotes for the first three will be coming from Murder at Glenloch Hill by Clara McKenna.
This is the sixth Stella and Lyndy Mystery. This particular book takes place in 1906, and Stella and Lyndy are traveling to Scotland.
Here's how the book opens:
Aggie Neely lingered in the doorway, the fresh breeze welcome on her flushed cheeks, and watched him go.
How does that tie in to the mystery and Stella and Lyndy? I'll leave that for you to uncover. Meanwhile, on page 56, we find this exchange between Stella and her maid, Ethel:
"I met a maid this afternoon at luncheon who seemed to have been..." Ethel bit her lip and she sought the right word. "Injured."
"Oh, no. She's all right, I hope. What happened?"
Want to know what happened? You'll have to read the book.
It officially comes out November 26th. I got to read an ARC, and I enjoyed it. I'll have my full review up early, on the 21st, so I hope you'll come back then to see what I thought.
Meanwhile, here's this week's Book Blogger Hop:
Do you like to annotate your books or leave them untouched?
I leave them untouched. I even try not to crease the covers when I'm reading them. I like them to look as fresh as possible for as long as possible.
That's it for me. Have a great weekend!
I struggle to annotate, but love finding books that are annotated. I hope you have a great weekend. - Katie

I rarely buy books so I never annotate library books, obviously. I once got a library book where someone had underlines with a highlighter and I worried the whole time I had it that I would be blamed. Ha!
ReplyDeleteThis series looks really good and I liked the sound of the teasers you shared. I do love historical mysteries so that makes it even more appealing. I don't annotate books either. It always made me uncomfortable whenever I tried to write in a textbook even!
ReplyDeleteAn interesting sounding book.
ReplyDeleteAll my books are pristine and look unread once I have finished.
Have a great weekend!
