Welcome to First Chapter/Intros, hosted by Yvonne @ Socrates Book Reviews. Each week readers post the first paragraph (or 2) of a book we are reading or plan to read soon.
The Night She Disappeared; Lisa Jewell
Atria Books - 2021
Part One
1
June 2017
The baby is starting to grumble. Kim sits still in her chair and holds her breath. It's taken her all night to get him to sleep. It's Friday, a sultry midsummer's night and normally she'd be out with friends at this time. Eleven o'clock: she'd be at the bar getting in the last round for the road. But tonight she's in joggers and a T-shirt, her dark hair tied up in a bun, contacts out, glasses on and a glass of lukewarm wine on the coffee table that she poured herself earlier and hasn't had a chance to drink.
I never got a chance to read this once last year when it was published but, it should be perfect this month for the RIP Challenge. Have you read it? Would you read more or pass?
I'd want to know a little more about the story, but I do like a good thriller. :D
ReplyDeleteYes, the first paragraph doesn't give away much.
DeleteI love this author, and I enjoyed this book!
ReplyDeleteGlad to read that you liked this one.
DeleteThat's a good start, I'd sure like to know more about what happened!
ReplyDeleteYes, just by the author you pretty much know it will be an exciting thriller but, the intro doesn't tell too much.
DeleteYou can always count on Lisa Jewell for a good story!
ReplyDeleteThat's how I feel, I've only read a few but they were good.
DeleteYes, I agree, hope to start this over the coming weekend.
ReplyDeleteI'd keep reading. Sounds like she's feeling the pull between responsibility and wanting to live a little. :) I usually like Lisa Jewell's stuff.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of those books that was had to put down Greg. A satisfying read.
DeleteThat is exactly how I felt reading that intro Greg.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely read more but then I just read this one and really enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely loved this book! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI finished it today and it really held my interest!
