Check out my review HERE. And this weekend Rachel McMillan will be visiting with us right here on Bookworm Mama! Eeeeek!!!
Since Carrie posted the first line of this book last week on Reading is My SuperPower...I decided to post the first line of what is more or less the Prologue:
"Jemima,
Your father and I have decided that, after giving you several opportunities to prove you are pursuing a proper course for a lady of your station and background, we can no longer financially support your endeavors."
The Bachelor Girl's Guide to Murder - Rachel McMillan

DeleteWhen a young lady of more fashion than means has the good sense to win the affection of an older gentleman, a widower of high estate and easy circumstances, it is generally observed that the match is an intelligent one on both sides.

Delete"It was market day in the open square beneath the Roman Senate and the temples of the gods." Behold the Man by Bodie and Brock Thoene (I like the first line of the second paragraph even better though...
