On Fridays I participate in BookBeginnings, hosted by Rose City Reader, and The Friday 56 - hosted by Freda’s Voice. Both involve sharing excerpts from a current book - the beginning and - you guessed it - page 56.
This week's book-
Here's my P56
Amanda gave Will one of her steely glares. "I swear on my life, Wilbur, if you take one step off this balcony, I'll have you in handcuffs before you see sunshine."
His eyes burned with hatred. "I'll never forgive you for this."
Amanda made a show of pulling our her phone. "Add it to the list."
And the beginning...
Will Trent was worried about his dog. Betty was getting her teeth cleaned, which sounded like a ridiculous waste of money for a pet, but when the vet had explained to Will all the terrible things that poor dental hygiene could do to an animal, he had been ready to sell his house in order to buy the little thing a few more precious years.
I love tough Amanda - the only one who calls Will "Wilbur". And Will, the brilliant but broken special agent with the GBI. Dr Sara Linton, the newly appointed GBI Medical Examiner, and Will's lover. But this is about the search for Angie, Will's wife (yes!), and whether she is as evil as she seems. I breathed this book, I needed it so much. Review will be up next week, but it's well worth a read, and I highly recommend that you read others in the series first.
Happy reading everyone.

I think I'll have to give this author a chance - I've heard so many good things.
I am most intrigued by the cover photo. Is it a bloody ID?
My Friday Quotes
Seems interesting. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :-)
This sounds like such a wonderful read! I'll need to look into this one :). Happy reading!
I think I may have read the first in the series when it first came out and then got distracted by everything else. I've got a lot of catching up to do!
I have heard a lot of good about Karin Slaughter, but not read anything by her. Maybe I should look into this series. Thank you for sharing.
I've been wanting to read Karin Slaughter for ages and I love missing persons cases! This sounds like a book I'd enjoy! Adding it to my TBR right away.
I need this book in my life. So far, and probably for the year, Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter is my favorite read. :-)
Happy weekend!
I haven't read any in this series. But this might tickle my fancy. Will have a look! Thanks for sharing. Here's my Friday Meets: http://marelithalkink.blogspot.co.za/2016/07/friday-meets-22-july-2016.html
I love Slaughter's books and can't wait to get my hands on this one. I have it bookmarked on Amazon.
Here's mine: “FALLING”
I don't think I've read anything by this author. I should look for book 1 and give this series a try. I am spotlighting City of the Lost by Kelley Armstrong this week. Happy reading!
There is nothing like the love of a pet.
Thanks for all the comments - it is a bloody ID, Anne. The first in this series is Triptych. I'll be visiting you all shortly. Have a great weekend.
Gah! Another series I'm going to have to add to my list - I love the sound of this book and the characters - the beginning really hit home for me because I dog sit my sister's doggies when she and her hubby go out of town and they just had a spa day and are getting a vet visit soon...tooth brushing here we come!
Here's my Friday meme
I love these characters and want this book! Enjoy!
I just started another series that has 8 books so I will have to skip this one for now. It is going on my wish list.
