FIRST LINE FRIDAY
Happy Friday & welcome to the First Line Friday hosted at Reading is my Super Power! It’s time to grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line. Today I’m delighted to feature the first line of While the City Sleeps By Elizabeth Camden. She is one of my absolute go to authors for historical fiction.
And the first line is:
New York City April 1913
People were rarely in a good mood while in a dentist’s chair by Dr. Katherine Schneider’s patient was singing.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Amid the hushed city, two hearts must navigate danger and deception, bound by a love that outshines the stars.
Katherine Schneider’s life as a dentist in 1913 New York is upended when a patient reveals details of a deadly plot while under the influence of laughing gas. As she is plunged into danger, she seeks help from the dashing Lieutenant Jonathan Birch, a police officer she has long admired from afar.
Jonathan has harbored powerful feelings toward Katherine for years but never acted on them, knowing his dark history is something she could never abide. Now, with her safety on the line, he works alongside her through the nights as they unravel the criminal conspiracy that threatens her . . . even as he keeps his deepest secrets hidden at all costs.

So glad I could help you find another author to read Susan 😜😂 . I believe her first book is Against the Tide, it’s one of my favorites in any case. Check to see if your library has it, I can recommend all of them though. Singing in a dentist chair, c’mon 😂 I haven’t read it yet so I’m thinking maybe this is where as it says in the synopsis, the information is leaked while the patient is under the influence of laughing gas. Guess we shall see. 😂 Let me know which one you choose I’m eagerly awaiting to see how you like it. 📚☕💜
