Happy Friday!
Welcome to First Line Friday's hosted by Hoarding Books.
Today's book is: In the Presence of Mine Enemies by Debbie Viguie
15th book of the series!
First Line:
"Detective Mark Walters usually liked Sundays."
A few years ago I came across book one, The Lord is My Shephard, of this series and decided to give it a try after discovering that the main character was a church secretary, since I have a bit of experience with this position, I was intirgued immediately. I gave it a try and quickly became attached to Cindy. After reading all fourteen books that lead up to this one, I have become a bit invested in this series. This is a mystery series with a bit of romance included at times, but be warned each book has ended with a cliffhanger.
Now it's your turn!
Let me know your first line in the comments and then head over

ReplyDeleteI'm featuring the first line from 'A Solace of Water' by Elizabeth Byler Younts this week, but as Ronie Kendig has just released the new and revised edition of Wolfsbane (one of my all-time favourite books!) I'm going to share the first line of that here:

"Don't lose heart, children. We have several strong families lined up in Bonham. I'm sure we'll find good homes for each of you."
Sounds like a interesting collection of stories!
ReplyDeleteOver on my blog I'm featuring the first line from Tara Johnson's "Engraved on the Heart". Here I'll share the first line from chapter 14.

That's quite a cover! I just finished reading A Defense of Honor by Kristi Ann Hunter... "Graham, the Viscount Wharton, heir to the earldom of Grableton, pride of the Cambridge fencing team, coveted party guest, and generally well-liked member of both Brook's and White's, was bored."
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
Happy Friday! My first line is from Mail-Order Bride Switch by Dorothy Clark:
ReplyDelete"Garret Stevenson kicked the snow off his boots, climbed the steps to the roofed platform of the Union Pacific Railroad station and stopped."
Good first line! One of my current reads is A Proposal to Die For, the first Lady Alkmene Cosy Mystery by Vivian Conroy:
ReplyDelete'Marry me.' The whispered words reached Lady Alkene Callender's ears just as she was reaching for the gold lighter on the mantelpiece to relight the cigarette in her ivory holder.
Have a great weekend!
This series sounds super interesting! I'm intrigued! Happy Saturday!

Makes you want to read to find out why he's the luckiest man alive, huh?! Lol! 😊
This looks like an interesting read.
ReplyDeleteI'm sharing about "No One Ever Asked" by Katie Ganshert on the blog, but I'm currently reading, "The Weaver's Daughter" by Sarah E. Ladd.

Happy reading and have a great weekend!
