MY BOOK BEGINNING
Edith Lewis got out her easel and watercolors and set them up near the edge of the bluff in front of their cottage on Whale Cove.
-- On the Rocks: A Willa Cather and Edith Lewis Mystery by Sue Hallgarth. Set in 1929 on Grand Maras, a Canadian island, this historic, literary mystery is the first of what looks like a terrific new series.
Oh, this one sounds tempting!
ReplyDeleteHi Gilion,
ReplyDeleteI like everything about this one ... Those first lines sound as though they set the scene for some great descriptive writing, the premise for the book is right up my street and I love that original cover art design.
A definite addition to my reading list, thanks for highlighting it this week and as always, for hosting.
Have a good weekend, Yvonne
The descriptive beginning really draws me in and I want to read more. This sounds like the kind of book I love. Thank you for hosting Book Beginnings every week.
ReplyDeleteThat beginning definitely doesn't give much away! Hope it's a good read!
