“Something foul was afoot, and this time it was more than a few mice chewing on the machine belts.”

COLD LIGHT OF DAY by Elizabeth Goddard
yay! i get to read this one soon and I’m so excited!
Always a favorite author, my first line comes from Roseanna White’s latest:
Yesterday’s Tides
May 11, 1942 Ocracoke Island, North Carolina
The first light of sunrise turned the water of Pamlico Sound to gold, the clouds to rose, and the dark to morning, promising Evie Farrow that today would be just like yesterday.
another of my faves 🙂
This looks like another historical I’d like to read! Hope you’re enjoying it!
thanks, Kym! I haven’t started it yet but I’m looking forward to reading it soon 🙂
Carrie, do you offer the inLinkz code to put on their blog or no? I’m just curious because I am going to link up with FLF. Thanks honey 😉

From Killing Bliss by E.C. Sheedy
This is such a pretty cover! I’m currently reading Heroes in the Crossfire novella collection and the novella “Dawn’s Hidden Threat” by Elizabeth Goddard. The first line is: Angie Greenwood stared into the killer’s eyes.” Have a great weekend!
