First Line Friday – 30 June 2017 – Over Maya Dead Body (Sandra Orchard)

I am both nervous and excited about today’s first line selection for you. If you have been following the Serena Jones series, you’ll know that there are two male characters who have an interest in Serena, but so far, Serena’s been somewhat oblivious to the romantic undercurrents (or in denial!) This is D-day folks! This is where we find out who Serena’s heart will turn to. And I’m not sure which is worse: the suspense of not knowing, or the disappointment for the man who will be let down. Aaarrrgggghhh!

More on that topic in days to come, but for today, let’s just look at the first line. Baby steps. Baby steps!

~ About the Book ~

FBI Special Agent Serena Jones arrives on Martha’s Vineyard with her family, ready for a little bit of R&R and a whole lot of reminiscing as they celebrate the engagement of an old family friend. But crime doesn’t take a vacation, and she’s soon entangled in an investigation of a suspicious death tied to an antiquities smuggling ring.

When her investigation propels her into danger, Serena must stay the course and solve this case before anyone else dies. But just how is she supposed to do that when the two men in her life arrive on the scene, bringing with them plenty of romantic complications–and even a secret or two?

I snatched my bag off the luggage carousel at Boston’s Logan International Airport and plunked it next to my parents as a sticky-fingered urchin tried to liberate the brightly colored ribbons I’d tied to the handles.

Have you read any of Serena Jones’ mysteries? Are you #TeamNate or #TeamTanner, or perhaps still sitting on the fence?!
