Happy Friday the 13th!
Today I'm once again participating in six blog hops. You can click on the host links below to find the blogs of others who are participating in each blog hop. If you're a blogger, feel free to join through the host links.
Question: Are there genres you read that you feel shy about?
My response: No, there aren't. If I did feel that way about them, I probably wouldn't read them.
Today's excerpts are from the paperback format of At Death's Dough (Deep Dish Mystery 5), by Mindy Quigley.
Prologue
Winter, 1924
Come spring, Mickey Keene was putting the kibosh on this kind of thing. Driving through the forest to the godforsaken middle of frozen nowhere in the black of night to deliver...what? He didn't know. They wouldn't tell him.
And here's an excerpt from page 56:
I'd had more than my fair share of interactions with law enforcement since moving to Geneva Bay, but Capone had always been there as a buffer, a beacon of calm. Without him, I had the disquieting sensation of being alone to face whatever was coming. And although the day was clear and calm, I couldn't shake the feeling that an epic storm was brewing.
This book is nominated for an Agatha Award. Winners will be announced at the Malice Domestic Convention next month. I'll have my review posted soon, but I can say it was a delicious read.
No reach will ever be high enough for Bell. She was reaching even higher than this shortly before I took the picture.
This is a cherry tree in my neighborhood beginning to wake up. Peak bloom is expected to be early to mid-April, depending on which kind of cherry trees they are and exactly where they're located. Some kinds bloom later than others and my neighborhood is always about two weeks behind the ones in Washington, D.C.
