Book Beginnings and Friday56
Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading. Friday 56 is hosted by Freda's Voice and asks you to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your e-reader and share a non-spoiler sentence or two.
This is the start of a new WW2 series by Barbour Books.
The Cryptographer’s Dilemma
About the book:
A Code Developer Uncovers a Japanese Spy Ring
FBI cryptographer Eloise Marshall is grieving the death of her brother, who died during the attack on Pearl Harbor, when she is assigned to investigate a seemingly innocent letter about dolls. Agent Phillip Clayton is ready to enlist and head oversees when asked to work one more FBI job. A case of coded defense coordinates related to dolls should be easy, but not so when the Japanese Consulate gets involved, hearts get entangled, and Phillip goes missing. Can Eloise risk loving and losing again?

Friday 56
Phillip drove, his mood somber again, while quiet tears dampened Eloise's cheeks.

My thoughts so far
This one is a bit slow to start, but then something happened and now I want to see why Eloise was so devastated with what she saw.

This sounds very intriguing although Eloise really isn't having a great time, is she? And it's always great when there's a sudden twist that grips you. I hope you enjoy it and have a lovely weekend :)
