Happy Friday, book lovers, and welcome to First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books. It’s one week until moving day here in the Donovan house, so reading time has become pretty scarce of late, but I have managed to delve into Jaime Jo Wright’s new release, Echoes Among the Stones. I love the Gothic atmosphere she creates in these time-slip mysteries!
About the Book
Mystery seems to follow her when she finds work as a secretary helping to restore the flooded historical part of the cemetery. Forced to work with the cemetery’s puzzling, yet attractive archeologist, she exhumes the past’s secrets and unwittingly uncovers a crime that some will go to any length to keep quiet–even if it means silencing Aggie.
In 1946, Imogene Grayson works in a local factory and has eyes on owning her own beauty salon. But coming home to discover her younger sister’s body in the attic changes everything. Unfamiliar with the newly burgeoning world of criminal forensics and not particularly welcomed as a woman, Imogene is nonetheless determined to stay involved. As her sister’s case grows cold, Imogene vows to find justice . . . even if it costs her everything.

I bought Echoes Among The Stones the other day. I don’t know when I will get to read it but I knew I had to have it.
The first line I am sharing is from,
The Major’s Daughter by Regina Jennings
‘From the growing ruckus outside the door, President Harrison could tell the time was approaching.’
I can’t wait to read this book! Have a great Friday!
Happy Friday! I’ve heard a lot about that book lately! Today I’m sharing the first lines from Stong Brave Loved by Holley Gerth: “If you ever get a little tired of life’s battles, this is for you.”

Happy Saturday!
Yesterday on my blog I shared the first two lines from Land of Silence by Tessa Afshar. I’m currently starting The Dating Charade by Melissa Ferguson so I’ll share from there.
“If one was going to dip one’s toes into the murky, pestilential waters of online dating, an escape plan was critical.”
Hope you’re having a good weekend! 🙂🧡📖
Just finished this book the other day! Stupendous.
I’m sharing the first line of Chapter 5 in Echoes Among The Stones by Jaime Jo Wright (since others also chose this book today) :
It was a cavern of hollow memories that ricocheted off dark walls, repeating themselves over and over until Imogene wished to clap her hands over her ears and scream the remembrances into silence
