First Line Friday

I just love doing these posts. It’s always so much fun reading everyone’s comments. First Line Friday is hosted by Reading is my Super Power . It’s time to grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line or so. Today I’m featuring the first line of Irish Coffee Murder by Leslie Meier, Lee Hollis and Barbara Ross. Now I’ve never read books by any of these authors so if you have do you have any recommendations for me?

And the first line is………

“Spring in Tinker’s Cove, ” grumbled Lucy Stone. “It’s an oxymoron. There is no such thing.”

About The Book

311 pages Kensington Publishers January 24,23 publish date

You don’t need to be Irish to enjoy St. Patrick’s Day in Maine, where the chilly March weather offers the perfect excuse to curl up with an Irish coffee. But someone may have spiked this year’s brew with
murder . . .
 
IRISH COFFEE MURDER by LESLIE MEIER
Part-time reporter Lucy Stone is writing a piece for the Courier about four Irish step dancing students from Tinker’s Cove on the cusp of making it big. But the story becomes headline news for all the wrong reasons when one girl’s mother is found dead in her bathtub. Did a stage mom take rivalry too far, or is some other motive at play?
 
DEATH OF AN IRISH COFFEE DRINKER by LEE HOLLIS
As owner of Bar Harbor’s hottest new restaurant, Hayley Powell offers to cater the after-party for popular comedian Jefferson O’Keefe, who’s playing his old hometown for St. Patrick’s Day. But it’s no laughing matter when Jefferson keels over after gulping down his post-show Irish coffee, leaving Hayley to figure out who decided this joker had gone too far . . .
 
PERKED UP by BARBARA ROSS
It’s a snowy St. Patrick’s Day in Busman’s Harbor. But when the power goes out, what better way for Julia Snowden to spend the evening than sharing local ghost stories—and Irish coffees—with friends and family? By the time the lights come back, they might even have solved the coldest case in town . . .

What are the first lines of the book closest to you?

Have a great day. Thanks for stopping in.

How many of you remember the show the Powerpuff Girls?

Thanks for your thoughts on this one. Great to know your opinion. I know she has an absolute ton of books out, so someone is reading them. I’ll be reading and reviewing this one in the next few weeks so hopefully I like it.

This comment could have been from me–so close to my foggy memory of what I read by her. It also could have been that it was a novella as in this case. There are not a lot of writers who can do a novella well. Then if there area three of them bound together…

My first line comes from The Maid of Ballymacool by Jennifer Deibel:
County Donegal, Ireland September 1935
The slap had hit its mark, leaving a burning outline Brianna was certain showed perfectly on her cheek.
