First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros - Mr. Nobody; Catherine Steadman



Each Tuesday, Vicki, from I’d Rather Be At The Beach hosts First Chapter 
First Paragraph Tuesday Intros where readers post the opening paragraph(s)
 of a book that they are reading or plan to read. Here's my pick for this week:

Mr. Nobody; Catherine Steadman
Ballantine Books - 2020

"If the car crashed, at this speed the impact wouldn't be enough to kill us instantly.  Which you might think is a good thing.

But it's not.

The one thing worse than dying on impact is not quite dying on impact.  Trust me, I know, I'm a doctor. And now that I'm thinking about it--I'd be genuinely surprised if this rental car even had airbags."

I really loved this author's last book, Something in the Water, and I'm hoping this one is as good.  Based on the intro above, would you read more or pass?

  3. I'd keep reading, I want to know if they do crash, and the beginning sounds like it's coming from a twisted mind.
