My book beginnings is taken from GLASS HOUSES by Louise Penny:
"State your name, please."
"Armand Gamache."
"And you are the head of the Surete du Quebec?"
"The Chief Superintendent, oui."
"Gamache sat upright on the wooden chair. It was hot. Sweltering, really on this July morning. He could taste perspiration from his upper lip and it was only just ten o'clock. It was only just starting."

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping.
Hi Elizabeth!
ReplyDeleteI've only ever read one of Penny's books with Armand Gamache in it, and enjoyed it. I never realised she'd written so many with him in.
I've got Emma in the Night to read,too. Hope you like it!
Here's my choice for this week:

Oh yes...she has written many books. I love the fictitious town of Three Pines.
DeleteEmma in the Night was good but different. Will be looking forward to see what you think.
Thanks for commenting, Sassy Brit.
I like that beginning. I'll need to find a copy of the book to learn more. I'm reading White Hot by Ilona Andrews this week. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteShe has many books, Kathy. This one is her newest.
DeleteI hope you find you like her books.
Thanks for commenting.
I too have read just a single book of hers. This one sounds good.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy her books.
DeleteWe actually visited Quebec City and went on a Louise Penny tour. :)
Thanks for commenting, Mystica.
I imagine he is testifying in court? It brings back memories to when I've had to take the stand because of my job. Fortunately, the courthouses I've been to are nicely air conditioned. I need to read more by Louise Penny. The one book I've read by her I loved.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing, Elizabeth! I hope you have a great weekend. I'll be over to read your book blogger hop response soon. :-)
Oh yes...her books are always good. Very detailed and interesting.
DeleteThanks for commenting, Literary Feline.
I've only read the first two books in the Gamache series, but loved them. I've been meaning to read more. Thanks for sharing, and here's mine: “HERE & GONE”
ReplyDeleteHer books are good.
DeleteThanks for commenting, Laurel.
A lot of readers are looking forward to the new Louise Penny book. I've still only read the first one (really liked it).
ReplyDeleteThis one is very good.
DeleteI LOVE the cover.
Thanks for commenting, Mary.
Is the officer in courtroom or where is he that he is sweating so much? I guess I'd read on to find out. My Friday Quotes
ReplyDeleteThey are sweating because they don't have central air, and they don't want to turn on the window units because they make too much distracting noise for the court room.
DeleteThanks for commenting, Anne.
I haven't read these books, or anything by Louise Penny. I'd like to--excellent opening!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, I am taking a short, summer blogging break. Enjoy your weekend.
ENJOY your break, Suko.
DeleteOh yes...Louise Penny's books are always wonderful.
Thanks for commenting.
I haven't read a Louise Penny's book in ages. Time to look at the list again.
ReplyDeleteAnn
I hope you take a look again.
