Book Beginning
Whistling a tune from Fiddler on the Roof, I used my tweezers to work a piece of Gloria Cunningham's skull out of the sky blue wall.

I pulled my shoes on and grabbed my keys. As I stepped into the stairwell, I remembered my promise to not go anywhere alone. But I knew Riley wasn't home, nor was Sierra.
What have you been reading lately?
Oh wow, this book seems interesting. I also like the first three sentences of the synopsis. They're priceless. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLOL! They are priceless! I did have to chuckle at that. Thanks for stopping by, Breana! Have a great weekend! :)
DeleteI like that this kind of story is in a cozy mystery...maybe it wouldn't freak me out too much!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, and here's mine: “WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LULULEMONS”
It's got a lot of humor in it and a couple of completely outrageous moments that had me laughing so hard. Thanks for visiting, Laurel-Rain! Have an awesome weekend! :)
DeleteOkay, I've just crossed another job off my list of possibilities. This does sound like an interesting mystery. This week I am featuring The Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Kowal. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I've gotta agree with you there. Crime scene cleaner would not be a job I'd want. Thanks for stopping by, Kathy! Happy reading! :)
DeleteSqueaky Clean mysteries. Ha! What will they think of next? My Friday Quotes
ReplyDeleteIt's such a clever name for the series! Love it! Thanks for coming by, Anne! Have a wonderful weekend! :)
DeleteIt sounds like such fun - despite the murder, of course. There is a lightness in the writing that I enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI'm featuring Broken Ground this week.
That's one of the things I love about Christy Barritt's writing. Things might get heavy and serious sometimes, but she always finds a way to lighten things up. Thanks for visiting, Bev! Happy reading! :)
DeleteSounds good. I'll have to keep it in mind. See what book Susan is featuring today at Girl Who Reads
ReplyDeleteIt's great! Thanks for coming by, Donna! Happy reading! :)
DeleteEw to the beginning, but I still like it... lol. Sometimes ew is good. :-) Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI thought the same thing when I first started reading it, lol! Thanks for stopping by, Freda! Happy weekend! :)
DeleteI like the premise. Sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteIt's a really fun read! Thanks for visiting, Nicki! Have a great weekend! :)
DeleteI hate to think that innocent people are in prison. I know in truth there are many in there for crimes they didn't commit. I love all the songs from Fiddler On The Roof. Loved the movie too.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's horrible to think about!
DeleteI've never seen Fiddler on the Roof. It's probably way past time that I do, though.
Thanks for coming by, Tea! Happy reading! :)
