This week's book beginnings comes from A KILLING AT THE CREEK by Nancy Allen.
"The bloody, yellow school bus wound through the hills of the Missouri Ozarks in the early dawn of a June morning. The blood inside the bus pooled under the driver's feet, trickled in the aisle, drained out the back exit, and ran over the rear bumper."
Catching your eye? :)
Enjoy finding new books in the linky for Book Beginnings.
ReplyDeleteWow! Who wouldn't be intrigued by such a powerful opener! Here's mine: http://ebogie.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-burning-wire-book-beginnings-page-56.html
ReplyDeleteIt is a very good opening line. :)
DeleteThanks for stopping, Elizabeth.
Although that's a terrific opening, A Killing at the Creek sounds too gory for me. I think I'd like Mist of Midnight better!
ReplyDeleteMy Friday post features WILLOW VALE.
It really isn't that gory, Sandra.
DeleteIt is more about a juvenile being accused of the crime. Well..that's what I have experienced so far.
THANKS for stopping. Yes...Mist of Midnight is goo.
Well that's an intriguing beginning! It definitely makes me want to know more about what's going on!
ReplyDeleteIt just pulls you in, doesn't it?
DeleteThanks for stopping, Katherine.
I'm definitely pulled in!
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty good.
DeleteThanks for stopping, fredamans.
Wow, that opener is gruesome, but beautiful, too, with all the color....Thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteI just finished the book. Fast paced and good.
DeleteThanks for stopping, Laurel.
The beginning of A Killing at the Creek certainly caught my attention, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt is very attention-getting. The book was good. I reviewed it last night.
