This week's book beginnings comes from ONE MILE UNDER by Andrew Gross.
"Dani Whalen noticed the first slivers of whitewater ahead on the Roaring Fork River, the current picking up. "Okay," she called out to the eight people in helmets and life vests aboard her raft, "it's been pretty much of a nature hike so far."
I have read a few books by this author and have enjoyed them.
I actually have only read ONE page so far so I don't have any thoughts on it yet.

Two books I finished and wanted to share this week are below. Reviews are in the book's title.
THE RELUCTANT MIDWIFE by Patricia Harman.
I loved this book.
It is the second book in the series. I didn't read the first book, but I had no trouble following the storyline.

THE POCKET WIFE by Susan Crawford.
A psychological thriller that kept me guessing until the end.

It is white water rafting and a dead body is found.
DeleteThanks for stopping, Laurel.
I hope you get to read The Reluctant Midwife.
Hi Elizabeth - I should finish The Fourth Amendment by SM Smith today. The first line: '"Let's go Yankees," twenty year old Anatoly Turken wisecracked.' Just that much doesn't give an idea of what the book is about, but it is pretty good.
ReplyDeleteI hope you let us know about your book when you finish.
DeleteThanks for stopping, Diane.
I'll have to look into One Mile Under. The beginning sounds interesting. The Pocket Wife has been on my TBR for awhile. It sounds fabulous and your review talked me into adding The Reluctant Midwife as well!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to read The Reluctant Midwife.
DeleteThe Pocket Wife is good also.
Thanks for stopping, Katherine.
Enjoy your reading, Elizabeth! I have just started a fun cozy, The Mysterious Doll.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun title.
DeleteThanks for sharing and for stopping, Suko.

Sorry I only got over today. Your comment got stuck in Disqus, which I am still trying to get a hang of ;) I like the sound of The Reluctant Mid-Wife, and since you loved it, I'm putting it on my TBR ;)
ReplyDeleteI did love it. I hope you get to read it.
DeleteThanks for stopping, guiltless reader.
