First Line Friday feat

 




The first line   

The Prologue . . . 

For, behold, the wicked bend the bow,

They have [a]set their arrow on the string

To shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.


Only a small candle was permitted to light the chamber in anticipation of the visit.

The object rolled down the small hill, bounced off a root of the oak tree, and stopped a short distance away. 



And on page 56 

She needed to rest but she knew she was an easy target. . .

  Repost from a 2018 post on my original  My Reading Journeys Blog  https://myreadingjourneys.blogspot.com/2018/11/spring-thaw-by-lauren-carr-i-read-tours.html?m=1 About the book About the book  In today’s hectic world, many whodunit fans don’t have time to get their mystery fix diving into a whole novel.

Dockside Secrets by Terry Overton My Review

  About the book   Sixty-two days after Finley Burke moved into her new lakeside cottage, her life felt peaceful-until it wasn't. With the help of her newly formed friendships in the small village of Sunset Cove, she would discover mysteries lurking beneath the surface. A tackle box, an estate sale, and a deceptive, wealthy family called her to use her experience as a forensic psychologist to discover the untold secrets of Sunset Cove. Join the Sunset Sleuths as they uncover what really goes on in Sunset Cove and the wealthy Kent family. For readers who long for cozy mysteries like Aurora Teagarden, dive into the quaint community of Sunset Cove and see what really happens. And I thought  What a great read. Although I have been following and featuring Terry Overton's children/young reader Christian titles I have never read one.   I was happy when she joined the Cozy Mystery World/Genre.  Dockside Secrets was a great read.  The characters are quick...
