The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley on Book Beginnings

BOOK BEGINNINGS ON FRIDAYS

Good grief! It's Friday afternoon and I just remembered to post Book Beginnings. This week has been crazy busy and I'm playing nurse to my husband who had minor surgery (nothing serious). The week went by in a blur. I am looking forward to the weekend! How about you?

Time to post the first sentence or so of the book you are enjoying. Please share your post with a link below. If you post on social media, please use the hashtag #bookbeginnnings.

MY BOOK BEGINNING

I did have fun this week reading two Lucy Foley's thrillers back to back, The Hunting Party and The Guest List. I read them with my ears when my library holds for the audiobooks both came available at the same time. I don't normally read books by the same author together, but I enjoyed the immersion.

Have you read either of these yet? I loved them both. They are classic "closed room" mysteries with the same twist made popular in Big Little Lies -- not only do we not know who dunnit until the end, we don't know who the dead person is until the end. 


I see a man coming through the falling snow. From a distance, through the curtain of white, he looks hardly human, like a shadow figure.

THE FRIDAY 56

Every Friday, Freda's Voice hosts another teaser event where you can share a two-sentence teaser from page 56 of your highlighted book. Visit Freda's blog for details and to link your post.

MY FRIDAY 56

Miranda, when she wants to, can assert serious charm. Anyone who knows her has been on the receiving end of it.
