Welcome to The Friday 56 hosted by Freda’s Voice.

 

This is a really fun meme!

The only rules are to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader and find a sentence or a few (no spoilers) that grabs you and post it.

Then go over to Freda’s Voice and leave your link so we can visit your 56!

My 56 for this week is from:

The Corpse In The Cabana

  by Shea MacLeod

Genre: Cozy Mystery

From 56% in the eBook.

“just go home, Ms. Roberts, and leave the investigating to the professionals.”

“Can’t go home,” i said smugly. “I live in Oregon, and my flight isn’t until Monday.”

He literally groaned. I had to hold back a laugh.

I’m going to make a confession here. I grabbed this the second I came across the pretty cover. LOL But, I’m also a cozy mystery addict and I’ve been wanting to try Shea’s books. This has a writer as the main character and is located in Florida, a hop, skip and jump from where I live. It looks like home to me!

Have you done that? Bought a book just because of the cover? Come on. Don’t be shy. You can tell me!

The above cover is the one I own from Amazon. Here is the one from Goodreads. Either of these would have been a cover buy for me!

Which do you like more?

Synopsis

Sassy, snarky Viola Roberts quit her boring accountant job to pursue her dream of writing novels, even if it meant eating ramen noodles every day. Now that her career has taken off, she’s headed to a writers’ conference at an exotic Florida resort complete with white sand beaches and swaying palm trees where she plans to lounge in the shade drinking frosty beverages with little umbrellas. And, of course, no sojourn to tropical climes would be complete without her boozy, wise-cracking best friend, Cheryl. When Viola discovers the diva of the author world dead (as a doornail) of unnatural causes, the police immediately consider Viola their prime suspect. But when the head detective turns a gimlet eye on Viola’s best friend, the author has had enough! Along with help from hunky fellow writer, Lucas Salvatore, Viola is determined to ascertain who killed the corpse in the cabana before she, or Cheryl, wind up in jail. Or worse.
