Book Beginning & Friday 56: Spirit Dances by C. E. Murphy

Posted by Kathy Martin at 5:19 AM
Happy Friday everybody!!


Book Beginnings
Book Beginnings on Friday is now hosted by Katy at A Few More Pages.  


Anyone can participate; just share the opening sentence of your current read, making sure that you include the title and author so others know what you're reading. 


If you like, share with everyone why you do, or do not, like the sentence.
The Friday 56


Rules:
  • Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
  • Turn to page 56.
  • Find the fifth sentence.
  • Post that sentence (plus one or two others if you like) along with these instructions on your blog or (if you do not have your own blog) in the comments section of Freda's Voice
  • Post a link along with your post back to Freda's Voice
  • Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.
My closest book this week is Spirit Dances by C. E. Murphy. This is the sixth book in the Walker Papers urban fantasy series. Joanne Walker is a police detective and shaman. The series explores her journey to learn about her magic and recounts her encounters with a variety of magical creatures and problems.


Beginning:
"Walker, Holliday, you're up. Homicide in Ballard, probably domestic violence. Be there yesterday."
Page 56, sentence 5:
I knew my last name. I really did. It was just that the one on my birth certificate and the one I used in day-to-day life weren't the same.

    I like mysteries with a little bit of magic playing out in them. Having one of the detectives imbued with these powers makes it very interesting. I like the 56, too, and now I'm curious!

    Here's MY FRIDAY MEMES POST

    The beginning wasn't that great, but I laughed at the one from page 56 :-)

    I wonder why the use of different names... what're they hiding???

    Thanks for participating!
