TUESDAY INTROS | Roseanna

I'm reviving my participation in the First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros linky hosted by Bibliophile by the Sea. I used to take part in this particular linky earlier on in the year, but then things got busy and my participation fizzled; but I'm back at it! The premise behind Tuesday Intros is to share the first paragraph or so of the book you're reading. I love the premise behind this linky as it's great for book recs, but you also get a feel for an author's writing style.


FIRST LINES
They found the corpse on the eighth of July just after three o'clock in the afternoon. It was fairly well intact and couldn't have been lying in the water very long.
Actually, it was mere chance that they found the body at all. And finding it so quickly should have aided the police investigation.

WOULD YOU CONTINUE READING?

    This looks like it could be a good, gritty mystery.

    While the cover draws me to this book and I do like crime and mystery, the intro doesn't really grab me, but I think I'd like it if I continued on.

    My attention was captured with the intro you shared. I would definitely keep reading. I seem to be in a mystery mood as of late.

    Yes this sounds gripping after such a short excerpt I have so many questions so I want to turn those pages!

      Mysteries and darker themes make for great reading this time of year.
