Book Beginnings & Friday 56 -- The Herring-Seller's Apprentice by L.C. Tyler

Book Beginnings on Friday is a meme hosted by A Few More Pages. Anyone can participate; just share the opening sentence, or two, of your current read, making sure that you include the title and author so others know what you're reading.

You'll have found the same thing yourself, of course.  Just when you think you have committed the perfect crime, things most unfairly take a turn for the worse.

The Friday 56 is a weekly meme hosted by Freda's Voice. Check out the rules and join in the fun.

Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
Turn to page 56.
Find the fifth sentence.
Post that sentence (plus one or two others if you like) along with these instructions on your blog or (if you do not have your own blog) in the comments section of this blog. Post a link along with your post back to this blog.

Why this anomaly for such a well-documented event?  It is the sort of question, however, that I usually do not answer immediately, but leave hanging in the air for the reader to ponder.  Occasionally I forget to explain it at all.


 This was a fun book to read with all sorts of self-aware dry wit.  I really enjoyed it while I was reading it but the shine seemed to wear off quickly after finishing it (on Wednesday).  At any rate, it was a fun little British mystery and a publishing house of which I was not previously aware.
