I sat at my desk and stared into my open spiral notebook. A neat, tied-up-with-a-ribbon ending. Chapin's daughter didn't realize it then, but she was lucky.

Starting with Poison
April Fools' Day, 1994.
"Relax! Lemme do the work. Go limp." Errol grasped my thumb, pressed it in the ink, and then rolled it on the paper. Hard. "Relax," he commanded again.

Sounds amusing. I hate having people take fingerprints - I CANNOT "relax".
ReplyDeleteThe opening line seems to have a double meaning, don't you think? Ha!
ReplyDeleteLove the title. I am always game for a female detective story, even more so if it is a true story.

This sounds really good!
ReplyDeleteI wonder why she is so lucky -- it has me curious. Nice 56.
ReplyDeleteI love the 56! I'd definitely keep reading.
ReplyDeleteLove the excerpts! And that cover....
ReplyDeleteFreda, if my blog link doesn't work, I apologize and please go ahead and delete it. I don't want to create extra work for you like last week! I like the book you featured, female P.I. is of interest to me.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a fun mystery. I like the title. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIt's not a mystery. It's actually non-fiction.
DeleteThis sounds very interesting, Freda! We might finally agree on a book. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat cover and actual true stories. Hmmmm, might have to see if the library has this one!
ReplyDeleteI love the book's title and cover, and the opening makes me want to know what happens next. Why is that character being fingerprinted? I'd keep reading to find out.
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting The Friday 56 and for leaving a comment on my blog.
