First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intro - Who Speaks for the Damned


Today I'm linking up with Socrates' Book Reviews for First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros.  This is a meme I've been following for quite sometime and always enjoyed seeing all the different first paragraphs so I'm really excited to be linking up myself!

This week I'm sharing the first paragraph from:


Goodreads:  Who Speaks for the Damned by C.S. Harris

Somer's Town London
Thursday, 9 June 1814

Alone and trying desperately not to be afraid, the child wandered the narrow, winding paths of the tea gardens.

My Thoughts:  Oh poor child!  I always struggle a bit when there is a child in a mystery but this series has been strong enough that I'm willing to trust the author.

What do you think?  Keep reading?

  10. The cover is great. It's not a time period I usually read but I like the imagery in the opening lines.
