I'm participating in two Friday book memes, Book Beginnings On Fridays, hosted by Rose City Reader, and The Friday 56, hosted by Freda's Voice.
Every Friday, 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.
For the Friday 56, grab a book, any book. Turn to Page 56, or 56% on your ereader. If you have to improvise, that's okay. Find a snippet, short and sweet. Post it, and add the url to your post at the link here.
The quote is from 56% in the egalley.

I downloaded this mystery for review recently. The blurb was intriguing and I liked a previous book by this author.
Journal Entry: THE TRACKS
I killed my brother with a penny. Simple, benign, and perfectly believable.
One of the chemicals needed to be heated to a boil, and once each group had their flasks set over the Bunsen burners, Mr. Gorman put everyone on a ten-minute watch, where they would monitor the boiling point by tracking the thermometer's progress.

I didn't realize it was part if a series. I'll have to look that up. I hope we enjoy it!
DeleteJumped over and read your review of Don't Believe It. Sounds really good. Now I'm to go dig up the first of this series so I can finish it before this one comes out in the summer. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
DeleteThat is quite a beginning! I know I haven't read this author but this book is definitely on my radar.
ReplyDeleteIt is quite an attention grabbing beginning. I hope the rest of the book lives up to it.
DeleteThe comment at 56 is a reminder of HS science class - is that what is going on? And that first line!!! I hope it's a good read for you.
ReplyDeleteThe book is set around a death at a school, according to the blurb. And that first line is a stunner!
DeleteOh! That opening line got me curious!! A penny??
ReplyDeleteKonna @ The Reading Armchair
That seems to be the general consensus. :)
DeleteI have to know how someone committed murder with only a penny. That's quite the start!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read that part.
