Book Spotlight Friday! The Sleuth of Blackfriars Lane

 


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 My Head is Full of Books 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.  First Line Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Reading is my Superpower that asks you to share the first sentence of the book you're reading.

I am enjoying this one.  There is always quirky characters to be found in Michelle Griep's stories.


The Sleuth of Blackfriars Lane







About the book:


Wife. Mother. Homemaker. Detective. Kit Forge wears many hats, and if that's not enough, she's partnered with her father to open a new detective agency. It's hard to be all things to all people, but Kit never shies away from the impossible. Despite her hard work and good intentions, some things fall through the cracks. Namely, her husband. But Jackson barely notices. He's too busy putting out his own fires. As the new chief inspector of a busy London station, he must salvage the disaster left behind by the former police chief--an obstacle made all the harder when the superintendent breathes an ultimatum down his neck. Against her father's advice, Kit takes on a case involving a missing child, one in which she and Jackson become a little too emotionally involved. . .and end up endangering their own little girl in the process. Can Kit and Jackson learn that just because they can say yes doesn't mean they should?

Book Beginnings

Three years ago, Kit Turner had been skiffing marks.

Friday 56

Was holding on to fear and disgrace making him into a selfish monster?

My thoughts so far

The first half of the book was a slower build for me, but I feel the pace is starting to pick up.

  3. "Skiffing marks"? What does that mean? Guess I'd have to read on to find out.
