Book Beginnings on Friday is a bookish meme sponsored by Katy at A Few More Pages. Here's what you do: Share the first line (or two) of the book you are currently reading on your blog or in the comments section. Include the title and author so we know what you're reading. Then, if you are so moved, let us know what your first impressions were based on that first line, and if you liked or did not like that sentence. Link up each week at Katy's place.
Here's mine from The Giant Rat of Sumatra by Richard L. Boyer:
The summer of 1893 was hot and dry and without noteworthy cases or events, save for the mysterious disappearance of Lady Alice Allistair, which threw the kingdom into shock and sorrow.
Well, that puts us right into the mystery, doesn't it?
