November 22nd's Friday Post

Welcome to Friday!  I've got another Friday Post for you.  As usual, I will be linking up to:

Book Beginnings
First Line Friday
Friday 56
Book Blogger Hop

This week, for the first three, I am sharing teasers from Ashes Never Lie by Lee Goldberg. 

This is the second book in the Sharpe and Walker series.  They are arson investigators for the LA County Sheriff's office.  And here's how the book begins:

The charred, steaming hulk of a Toyota Camry sat in a burned-out patch of scorched brush in the middle of what was now the Chatsworth Nature Preserve, which had previous been a sacred Chumash Indian ceremonial ground, a limestone kiln used by Spanish settlers, a movie studio back lot, and the dry lake bed of the long-abandoned Chatsworth Reservoir.

On page 56, Walker has teamed up with homicide detective Eve Ronin (the lead in another series from the author) to go talk to someone.  However, they aren't getting an answer....

No answer.  He leaned on the doorbell and called out to her again.  Still no answer.
Walked look at Eve.  "Maybe we should knock louder."
She smashed the door with the battering ram.

This is a fun book.  I'll be back with my full review on Wednesday.  I hope you'll come back then.

Meanwhile, let's take a look at this week's Book Blogger Hop.  The question is:

Are there any novels set on or near Thanksgiving that you love rereading or recommend as a heartwarming November read?

I did review Sheer Window earlier this month.  It's a Thanksgiving set novella.

On the whole, I don't tend to read a lot of books set around Thanksgiving.  And I don't have the time to reread books as much as I might like, unfortunately. So nothing else is coming to mind.

Have a great weekend.

  2. Happy Friday!
    I'm currently reading The British Booksellers by Kristy Cambron.
    "Daybreak boasted incomparable moments at Holt Manor, and Charlotte soon found her heartbeat among them."
    I hope you have an excellent weekend!

  4. I feel like finding Thanksgiving themed books is difficult anyway, but I may have to check out Sheer Window next year. I hope you have a great week. - Katie
