The Friday 56


Rules:
*Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader
(If you have to improvise, that's ok.)
*Find any sentence, (or few, just don't spoil it)
*Post it.
 
 
From A Christmas Return by Anne Perry. It's the 1890s. Crusty old matriarch Mariah Ellison simply is not feeling the Christmas spirit. A package arrives that sparks memories of a 20-year-old murder that shattered her friendship with Rowena, the victim's widow. It inspires her to take a Christmas journey, to seek out her old friend, to try to both repair the relationship and solve the murder.
 
From page 56: "I know what it is to be frightened," she said quietly. She even considered reaching out to touch Rowena's hand, but that was too outside the character she had always shown.

  1. I have never read Anne Perry. This one sounds good. This week I'm reading Crimson Death by Laurell K. Hamilton from my TBR mountain. Happy reading!
