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!
I won this book in a giveaway. It’s the seventeenth book in the series and I figure if I like it I’ll have plenty of previous books to enjoy:)
My 56 for this week is from:
Dead Spider
A Loon Lake Mystery #17
by Victoria Houston
Genre: Mystery
From page 57 in the paperback. Page 56 was blank.
Since childhood, his father had ingrained in him the importance of not blaming others for your mistakes, and if there was any life principle he was determined to pass on to his children and grandchildren it was that: Take responsibility for your mistakes and keep your mouth shut.
I’m liking the writing so far and I imagine I’ll be going back to start this series from the beginning. As this is book seventeen, at least I won’t have to wait:)

Synopsis
In the next installment of the Loon Lake Mystery series, Lewellyn Ferris and Doc Osborne must solve a murder that shatters the picturesque Wisconsin lake town community at the height of summer.
On a lovely Sunday afternoon in late June, the annual Loon Lake Youth Fishing Tournament is coming to a close. People are happy, kids are full of ice cream, and teenagers are setting off firecrackers so loud that no one hears the gunshot.
But when the crowd thins out, an attractive young wife makes a grisly discovery: A single bullet to the head has killed her much older husband—the richest man in Wisconsin.
Meanwhile, as the murder investigation gets underway, Police Chief Lewellyn Ferris’s good friend and deputy coroner, “Doc” Osborne, is alarmed to hear that his oldest grandchild, fifteen-year-old Beth, has been caught in a drug sting.
And Loon Lake’s idyllic summer is further shattered when numerous elderly patients in the local nursing home discover they have been robbed.

Well Laura that’s also something I tried to teach to my kids!
I did too. My father taught us well:)
Sounds promising. Enjoy!
Yes, it does. If I enjoy this, I’ll be going back and starting at the beginning of the series!
Sounds good to me! Happy weekend!
I read a little more last night and I’m liking it:)
I love the sound of this!
I was so happy I won it.
This sounds like a really good one! I love that quote. Hope you have a great weekend! 🙂
I’m about half way through now and I know I’ll be going back to read the other books.
Book seventeen?! Always amazed by authors who can write such long series. Hope you enjoy the previous novels. Happy Friday!
I plan to at least go back and see how it all began. Not sure if I’ll get to all of the previous books though. That is a lot!
Book 17? Well, I guess this author gloamed onto something good and kept going. My Friday quotes and a short review of WE SET THE DARK ON FIRE
I’m curious how it all began:) I don’t know if I’ll get to all of the previous books but maybe one here or there.
Hope you enjoy your new mystery!
It’s going good so far:)
Take responsibility for your mistakes – great advice! Sounds interesting!
Very good advice!
