Boston, 1876

I have the first line from Over Maya Dead Body on my blog today, but I’m going to share the first line from another great read about to release, Susan May Warren’s “A Matter of Trust”:
“Gage Watson blamed the trouble on the bright, sunny day.”
Personally, I quite like bright, sunny days, but maybe it’s different in the snow. ????

That is an intriguing line! My first line today is from Rachel Linden’s debut novel, Ascension of Larks:
