Happy Friday!
Book Beginnings is hosted by Gillion at Rose City Reader. She asks that the first sentence is posted along with the author and title of the book and the reader's initial thoughts on the sentence, the book, or anything else it inspires.
Carrie at Reading Is My Superpower.org also provides a linky for sharing first lines and connecting with others. This meme asks that the chosen books be PG or marked as Mature if they are not.
Beginning:
When Ophelia arrived in Castlefreke, she ripped the front shutters off the parish hall. A few shingles from the old creamery came loose and she threw them, shrieking, into Mycross Wood and the Blackfield pitch.
Friday 56:
Mary made in impatient noise. "You don't really have a choice here, Frances. You're going to need to talk to Colm eventually. Emma's a smart girl, but you and I both know that you're the one who will get the real answers from your son."
After witnessing a murder, a small-town librarian is forced to act when the local police arrest the wrong man, perfect for fans of Dervla McTiernan and Carlene O’Connor.
1988, West Cork, Ireland. Emma Daly has returned to her home in Castlefreke, a small and peaceful village where everybody knows everybody. She has taken over the local library and is trying not to think about the scandal she left behind in the city. But when the richest man in the village is murdered and the main suspect is the mysterious son of a local family, her charming small-town life is turned upside down.
Emma knows for a fact that there is more to the story, and when the family asks her to investigate, she decides to take matters into her own hands.
Teaming up with a stubborn widow, an elderly hypochondriac, and her high school sweetheart, it is up to Emma to solve the mystery before either the police or the murderer can stop her.
