My book beginnings is taken from A DEADLY AFFECTION by Cuyler Overholt:
"The first Sunday of 1907 was so bitterly cold that icicles were hanging from the watering trough spouts in front of Mr. Fuller's house, and the sanitation men had resorted to chipping, rather than scooping, the manure from the street. I barely felt the chill, however, as I walked east across town, warmed by long-simmering anticipation."

I like the way the author establishes the setting. I'd definitely keep reading to find out what the character is anticipating.

It is not a bad read. I haven't been reading much, though. I am visiting my sister.
