We've made it to Friday! That means it is time for this week's Friday Fun, where I will be linking up to:
First Line Friday
Friday Book Snippets
Book Blogger Hop
My teasers for the first two will be coming from Death in Luxor by M.A. Monnin.
This is book four in her Intrepid Traveler Mysteries. Obviously, the book is set in Egypt. And here's now the book begins:
“I suppose you’d like an Artifact Retrieval Team ID,” René Renault said, looking Stefanie Adams up and down.
Okay, so it might not jump right into the main mystery, but it is a nice way to get reacquainted with the characters. Why? You'll have to read the book to find out.
Meanwhile, a little past 50% into the book, we find this:
“I saw what the man was stabbed with,” she said, loud enough for them all to hear. “A knife with the same triangular-shaped handle that we have on the Nile Princess.”
And, a bonus quote:
Dr. Amin moved to close the door behind them. He fixed them with a granite gaze. “Murder is not good for tourism,” he said.
The book is out. I'll be reviewing it as part of a blog tour next Thursday, so I hope you'll come back to see what I thought of it.
Let's move on to this week's Book Blogger Hop. The prompt is:
Do you run more than one blog? If so, how do you manage your time?
I pretend to. I have a blog I started 20+ years ago when people were using them as diaries of sorts. I don't want to let it go, but I haven't posted anything other than a joke or a pun in over a year. So, this is the only blog I really update.
Have a great weekend!
I started a Readerbuzz blog at three different sites all at the same time. I decided to focus on the Blogger blog, but I still have access to the Wordpress blog, though I've never posted anything there.
ReplyDeleteI don't know any of her books, but it sounds interesting.
ReplyDelete"Murder is not good for tourism." I should think not. I just was in the British museum which is stuffed with all the relics which were stolen from Egypt and Greece. Now I want to read something set in those locations. This one sounds intriguing.
ReplyDeleteJust one blog for me too. Here's my BBH: https://bonniereadsandwrites.com/2026/10/09/book-blogger-hop-more-than-one-blog/#comment-12238
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteI only have the one Blog. That's enough for me!
Have a great weekend!

I have two blogs as well, but I only post on the older one once a year. It was practice for Caboodle of Cozies and now I just use it to document highlights from the year (kind of like a diary...). :)
ReplyDeleteDeath in Luxor definitely sounds intriguing!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great mystery! Thanks for sharing! Hope you have a great week!
