First Line Friday #65-Books Can Be Deceiving

Happy Friday, my bookish friends! Welcome back to First Line Friday hosted by Carrie at Reading is My SuperPower!! I am also linking up with Gilion on Rose City Reader for Book Beginnings. This is where you share the beginning of the book that you are reading. To join in the fun grab the book you are reading and leave a comment with the first line (or your link).  This week I am reading Books Can Be Deceiving by Jenn McKinlay. It is the first book in the Library Lover's Mystery series.

 

"Oh, I just love that Maxim De Winter," Violet La Rue said, her knitting needles clicking together as if to emphasize her words.

Book Beginnings:

"Oh, I just love that Maxim De Winter," Violet La Rue said, her knitting needles clicking together as if to emphasize her words. "He gives me the shivers."

"Him?" Nancy Peyton asked. "He's not nearly as scary as Mrs. Danvers."

Lindsey Norris glanced up from her knitting at the two ladies sitting across the circle from  her. It was crafternoon Thursday, where members of the crafternoon club gathered at the Briar Creek Library to do a craft--currently, they were knitting--and discuss the assigned book of the week.

Synopsis (Goodreads):

Lindsey is getting into her groove as the director of the Briar Creek Public Library when a New York editor visits town, creating quite a buzz. Lindsey’s friend Beth wants to sell the editor her children’s book, but Beth’s boyfriend, a famous author, gets in the way. When they go to confront him, he’s found murdered—and Beth is the prime suspect. Lindsey has to act fast—before they throw the book at the wrong person.
