I’ve started a new book so let’s do a Tuesday Intro post. First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros is hosted by Diane at Bibliophile by the Sea. Here’s my intro:
“Now three had died. But Crispin didn’t know it. She sad propped up on the cold terrazzo floor; her back against the wall in a seated fetal position, her face buried in her knees. It took all of her concentration to control the urge to empty her stomach again; to swallow the acidic foam burning the back of her throat. Her lilac dress, wrinkled and soiled beyond redemption, offered little warmth as she shivered at the sound end of a long Vatican hallway.”
From Shrouded by Meredith Lee.
What just happened to this poor girl to be in this state? I know I definitely want to know. What about you would you be interested in continuing?
We are discussing this book at my book group next week so I need to hurry up. I’m excited to read this book because it was written by one of our book group members! Meredith Lee is actually a pseudonym for two authors and both will be at our next book group meeting so that should be fun to see what else we find out about how they wrote this and what plans they have because I believe they are busy at work on the second book.
That is a great beginning. I really want to know more. How nice that you will be able to talk about the book with the authors. My book this week is Killman Creek by Rachel Caine. Happy reading!
I definitely want to know more. The beginning sounds horrific, in terms of the poor girl’s health and emotional state. Thanks for sharing…and here’s mine: “SING, UNBURIED, SING”
Sounds like an intense adventure. I have been doing a lot less reading lately, but hope to have more time soon.
Kathy Martin – I know, I’m so excited about that part too! 🙂
Laurel-Rain Snow – I know right? I’ve just discovered what happened so makes sense that she was so shaken up!
Jenclair – This mystery definitely started with some action! Hope you find some time to get in more reading!
WOW, quite an opening. This is a new title to me but, I’m really curious.
I’m definitely intrigued and would like to know more. I hope you’ve fun reading this and can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it.
What an opening! I hope it turns out to be a fun read!
Enjoy the discussion with your book group. This into is intriguing!
