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 Root Of Murder

Lovers In Crime Mystery #5

  by Lauren Carr

Genre: Mystery

From page 56 in the paperback.

“According to Susan, John Davis did have an enemy. Bea Miller. A clerk who had applied for a job in his department. When she didn’t get it, she accused him of sexual harassment. She appears to have a long history of accusing men of sexual assault and harassment.”

“Sounds like a possible suspect.

She does sound like a good suspect. Me thinks this is too early in the book to zero in on her. Lauren always has so many bread crumbs to follow!

Check out that excellent cover art. Isn’t it perfect for the title!

Synopsis

Homicide Detective Cameron Gates learned long ago that there is no such thing as a typical murder case. Each mystery is special in its own right—especially for the family of the victim.

The homicide of a successful executive, husband, and father seems open and shut when the murder weapon is found in his estranged son-in-law’s possession. The circumstantial evidence is so damning that when her step-son, J.J. Thornton, agrees to act as the defendant’s public defender, he assumes his first murder case will be a loss. Only the report of a missing husband proves that this case is not as open and shut as it seems.

Strap on your seat belts for a wild ride in this mystery rooted in decades of deception that sprouts into murder.
