Friday Memes: The Suicide House by Charlie Donlea

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.

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.

The quote is from 56%  in the egalley.

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.
