My choice this week for Book Beginnings and Friday 56 is Gone Missing (Kate Burkholder, Book 4) by Linda Castillo:

Prologue:

  

Becca had always known her life would end in tragedy.  As a child, she couldn't speak to her certainty of her fate or explain how she could forsee such a thing.  She believed in providence, and it came as no surprise when she realized she would also die young. 

My Thoughts:  You always know the mystery is going to be good when it begins with the beginning that one of the characters knows she's going to have a tragic end at a young age.

The Friday 56 is a weekly meme hosted by Freda at Freda's Voice. To play along:

• Grab the book closest to you, any book will do.
• Turn to page 56.
• Choose the fifth (5th) sentence, or a few more (just don't spoil it too much).
• Post it on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, post it in the comments below.
• Link your post to Freda's Voice.

My Friday 56 is also from Gone Missing:

"When did you become worried?"

She looks at her husband, as if the answer is too much for her to bear, and he answers for her.  "We began to when she didn't make it home in time for the before-meal prayer," he says.

My Thoughts:  The mystery is afoot!  

So what are you Friday Book Beginnings and Friday 56? Please play along and if you decide to follow my blog, let me know in the comments and I'll return the favor.
