YOUR BOOK BEGINNING
MY BOOK BEGINNING
It's hard to pinpoint when a story begins. Who knows when that butterfly flapped its wings, churning up the atmosphere enough to send a new tangle of events careening your way?
-- Never Look Down by Warren Easley, from Poison Pen Press. Cal Claxton is an ex-L.A. prosecutor now practicing law in Oregon.
This third book in the series finds Cal helping a 16-year-old graffiti tagger and urban climber after she witnesses a murder -- from four stories up the outside of a downtown office building.
Sounds like an interesting read! And I like that first sentence, the butterfly effect has always interested me.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting!
ReplyDeleteThat first sentence really pulls you in! Sounds like a good one, especially with the cooler weather ...
ReplyDeleteI haven't read anything by this author, but I've never gotten a bad one from Poison Pen Press. Sounds interesting and thoughtful from that beginning.
ReplyDeleteA beggining talking about not knowing what the beggining is. I like it!
ReplyDeleteSounds good! I love the premise and the first line is great.
ReplyDeleteSounds good - I'm adding it to my tbr! :)
ReplyDeleteI like murder mysteries.
ReplyDeleteLooks good.
ENJOY!!

Hi Gillion,
ReplyDeleteSounds like an intriguing book. Enjoy reading.
Have a great day!
Nice beginning to Never Look Down. I wasn't able to get my Book Beginnings up today; been struggling with PC issues. I'll get it up tomorrow morning and hopefully get back on track with my reading / reviewing. :)
