Happy Friday!
Continuing with the books I acquired at CFRR this summer, I have had this book on my TBR for awhile now. Every once in a while, I really need a book that keeps me up late and on the edge of my seat. Have you read this book? Do you like a good mystery?
Hampshire, England
Early April, 1883
I stood, that bleak day, in the graveyard in the village near Winton Park.
As First Line Fridays grows...we have had to make some adjustments to how things are done. So, stay tuned as we make life so much easier for everyone and have fun while we do it!!!

Now it's your turn! Post your first line below and blog hop and join in more First Line fun!
How eerie!
ReplyDeleteI'm featuring the first line from J. Rodes' "Charging the Darkness" on my blog today--great conclusion to her dystopian trilogy--but right now I'm going to share the opening of Rachel Dylan's recent release, "Deadly Proof":
"You can't call that a settlement offer." Kate Sullivan looked directly into the dark eyes of her opposing counsel, who represented a medical device company.
Have a great weekend!
Oh man! Now I need to know what happened!
DeleteThat's a great opening!
ReplyDeleteI'm reading Jaime Jo Wright's The House on Foster Hill. "Death had a way of creeping up on a soul, and Ivy Thorpe was determined that when it visited her, she would not be surprised."
I am severely struggling with the patience I need to restrain myself from reading this one tight now....Other books are ahead on the schedule still :(
DeleteThat's a great opening line. It really draws me in and makes me want more!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend
I have that book on my TBR, now to find the time...
ReplyDeleteI'm sharing this line:
How dare the stars still light the night and the James River continue to flow, when the one who made Lettie’s life bearable was gone?
This is the first line from chapter 1 (not the prologue) of Carrie Fancett Pagels novella “Love’s Escape” in The Captive Brides Collection.
I loved this book! Definitely a favorite. :)
ReplyDeleteI love Sandra Byrd!! First discovered her when I got my first Kindle years ago and read her French Twist series ebooks & fell in love with her writing. I'm very blessed to be on her street team, and read all the Daughters of Hampshire (more like devoured!).
ReplyDeleteMy first line is from Kristi Ann Hunter's "An Inconvenient Beauty" (finally got my review copy yesterday):
Prologue “The line between boy and man was never murkier than when a father dies too soon, leaving his son to walk through the foibles of youth while shouldering the responsibilities of adulthood.”
I've been waiting to meet Griffith FOREVER! ;-)
This one is definitely on my TBR list. I love Kristi Ann Hunter's books and have been waiting for this one.
DeleteI LOVE Sandra Byrd's novels!
ReplyDeleteMrs. Pollifax had attended church that Sunday morning, and her hat-a garden of pale pink roses and green leaves-still sat on her head as she ate lunch in the sunny kitchen of her apartment. - The Amazing Mrs. Pollifax (Book 2) by Dorothy Gilman
From Murder on the Moor by Julianna Deering:
ReplyDeleteA two for one :
Madeline, reading to Drew from Jane Eyre :
“And I sank down where I stood, and hid my face against the ground.”
Katie Ann reached into the drawer of the end table next to the couch and pulled out th eletter she’d received two weeks ago.
