Friday Focus: The Friday 56 & Book Beginnings #63

It's Friday . . . time to share excerpts from a current or upcoming read with:

• Book Beginnings on Fridays hosted by Rose City Reader, where bloggers share the first sentence or more of a current read, as well as initial thoughts about the sentence(s), impressions of the book, or anything else that the opening inspires.  
• The Friday 56 hosted by Freda's Voice, where you grab a book and turn to page 56 (or 56% of an ebook), find one or more interesting sentences (no spoilers), and post them.

Today I'm featuring my current read, Murder the Tey Way, which is for a blog tour.  I'll be posting my review tomorrow (Saturday, December 6), and hope you'll stop by again to find out more.

 

 

 

Beginning:  "Who's clever enough to solve a fifteenth century murder by studying a portrait in his hospital bed?" I asked in my most professorial tone.

Page 56:  "'I've an idea I'm working on.  Meanwhile, I've learned a few things about our fellow members you'll find interesting.'"

My thoughts:  This second book in the Golden Age of Mystery Book Club series is as engaging as the first one, Murder a la Christie, was.  I'm 100 pages from the end, and no clear suspect has emerged, although there are lots of possibilities . . .

 

Which book are you reading now or about to start?
