Book Beginning: Payment in Blood



THANKS FOR JOINING ME ON FRIDAYS FOR BOOK BEGINNING FUN!

Please join me every Friday to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you are reading, along with your initial thoughts about the sentence, impressions of the book, or anything else the opener inspires. Please remember to include the title of the book and the author’s name.

EARLY BIRDS & SLOWPOKES: This weekly post goes up Thursday evening for those who like to get their posts up and linked early on. But feel free to add a link all week.

FACEBOOK: Rose City Reader has a Facebook page where I post about new and favorite books, book events, and other bookish tidbits, as well as link to blog posts. I'd love a "Like" on the page! You can go to the page here to Like it. I am happy to Like you back if you have a blog or professional Facebook page, so please leave a comment with a link and I will find you.

TWITTER, ETC: If you are on Twitter, Google+, or other social media, please post using the hash tag #BookBeginnings. I try to follow all Book  Beginnings participants on whatever interweb sites you are on, so please let me know if I have missed any and I will catch up.

TIE IN: The Friday 56 hosted by Freda's Voice is a natural tie in with this event and there is a lot of cross over, so many people combine the two. The idea is to post a teaser from page 56 of the book you are reading and share a link to your post. Find details and the Linky for your Friday 56 post on Freda’s Voice.

YOUR BOOK BEGINNING



MY BOOK BEGINNING



Gowan Kilbride, aged sixteen, had never been much for early rising.

-- Payment in Blood by Elizabeth George. That's not much of a first sentence. It picks up from there.

This is the second book in her Inspector Lynley series. I'm reading it for the Vintage Mystery Challenge.

  4. One of my very good friends keeps recommending Elizabeth George to me. I will have to start - this series looks like a good place to begin.

  5. The opening sentence isn't much to write home about by the plot sounds very interesting, I hope you are enjoying it!

  7. Yes, I'd say that first sentence is not much of a teaser.

  9. Not an exciting first sentence. My choice on my blog is Vendetta by Michael Dibdin.

  10. I will have to try another Elizabeth George book.

    I wasn't too thrilled with one I read a long time ago.

    Thanks for sharing.

  11. I don't know if I've ever read anything by Elizabeth George....I'll have to check. It's an okay beginning for a mystery though.
