It began with an innocent-appearing package on her front porch.
The box contained a cell phone, which rang as soon as she opened the package. A voice that called Dr. Kathy Hoover by name said that her husband had been kidnapped. To get him back she would have to poison one of her patients.
At first, she didn’t believe that her husband had been taken from the conference he was attending, but soon she discovered that the kidnappers really had Darren. If she wanted to see him again, she had to give medication that would murder Kelton Rush, former Vice-President. What was she to do? How would she handle this critical decision?

My first lines are from Collision of Lies by Tom Threadgill
Thirty Seconds. If they were still arguing, she’d call the cops then. Let the professionals deal with them.
I’ve got this one on my TBR shelf. Must read!
Happy Friday! I haven’t read any books by Richard Mabry. Today, I’m sharing the first line from Veiled in Smoke by Jocelyn Green: “Meg’s father was gone. Again.”

I have a NetGalley copy of this book calling my name!
Ha! What a fun start!
I’m sharing the first line of The Jane Austen Society on my blog today. I just started reading If For Any Reason by Courtney Walsh. Here’s the first line of chapter 1: “Emily Ackerman hummed when she was nervous.”
The Jane Austen Society looks like my kind of book. Enjoy your reading this weekend!
Happy Friday! On my blog I’m sharing the first line from a Mary Connealy book, Woman of Sunlight. Here’s the next line:
“Her face was peppered with half-healed blisters left from having chicken pox, but she resisted the urge to slap her hands over her scabby cheeks.”
Thanks so much for sharing!
Happy Saturday! 😊
Yesterday I shared the first few lines from Blind Dates, Bridesmaids, and Other Disasters by Aspen Hadley. I’m just starting chapter 10, so I’ll share a line from there.
“Sunday night I was lounging in the comfy over-stuffed chair in the corner of my room, flipping through an old copy of Pride and Prejudice that I’d read a few times.”
Hope you have a great weekend filled with awesome reading time. ❤📖
Happy Weekend! My first line is from “The Fifth Avenue Story Society” by Rachel Hauck:
“Well this was a fine mess.”
