Here's My Beginning..
Not that impressive a start, in my opinion. In fact, it took me more than the first 100 pages to really get into this - which is unusual for me. Give me a murder with a body, and I'm hooked. This had a slow and less than gripping start, but after that it moved well, and I enjoyed it.

I enjoyed all the cops conversations, they were well written. In this excerpt, they're having to go through Frieda's mail (who gets snail mail these days?), and sure enough, there's something there...not ticking but definitely linked to the murder...
I've just finished this, not a bad read, but I've read better - my review should be up soon.
What are you reading this weekend?

I love that cover! Thanks for sharing. :)
Ahh, this sounds great! I'm always looking for mystery books with murder in them... Hehehe. I'd love to check your review on this book! :)
Here's mine: Smaller and Smaller Circles by F.H. Batacan
I like the excerpts. Thanks for mentioning the book.
If my mail started ticking I'd run too. LOL Sounds good. Glad the story picked up and you enjoyed it.
My Friday 56 from Flesh
Have you read the previous books in the series? I was hooked early on, as I love Frieda Klein.
Thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.
Sounds like a good read to me! Happy weekend!
I've never read a book by this duo writing team, but I have good things about their work. I am sorry this one wasn't better for you. Someday I may give them a try myself--maybe a different book. Have a great weekend!
I disagree, I kind of chuckled a bit. I suppose some of us have darker humor than others. Hope you enjoy your weekend!
