Book Beginnings on Friday

Book Beginnings on Friday is a meme hosted by Katy over at A Few More Pages. How to participate: Share the first like (or two) of the book you are currently reading on your blog or in the comments. Include the title and author so we know what you're reading. Then, if you like, let us know what your first impressions were based on the first line, and let us know why you did or did not like that sentence. Link up at Katy's page every Friday.

Here is mine from A Dangerous Affair by Caro Peacock:

Neither of us knew the rate for bribing a gaoler at the Old Bailey.

My thoughts: Well, yeah, that's not exactly common knowledge (Lol). But now I've got to know why we're bribing and what's going on.
