YOUR BOOK BEGINNING
MY BOOK BEGINNING
Duct tape had sealed the mouths of the three men.
-- The Other Oregon by Steve Anderson. Well, that's a beginning to get your attention!
With this latest novel, Anderson takes a break from his favorite WWII material to give his readers a creepy, atmospheric thriller set in the Pacific Northwest.
The Other Oregon comes out on May 19 and is available for pre-order from Powell's or amazon.
Does start creepy but I think I would like it.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like it would be something right up my alley! :)
ReplyDeleteYup, with that cover it's definitely going to be creepy! Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThat opener got my attention!
ReplyDeleteI like that line. That really grabs you, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteI wondered, by the title, if the book was going to be a nonfiction look at Eastern Oregon, a part of the state that few folks out of state would recognize as part of the wet state. I guess not.
