The Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings): A Scandal in Battersea (Elemental Masters #12) by Mercedes Lackey

  

On Friday's I take part in two weekly link ups - The Friday 56, currently hosted by Anne @ My Head Is Full of Books, and Book Beginnings, hosted by Rose City Reader.  For The Friday 56, you choose a book, a book you have just finished, a book you are about to start, your current read, and share a line or a few lines that grab you (but don't spoil anything) from page 56 or 56% of the way through the ebook. Post it and share your post's url on Freda's most recent Friday 56 post. As for Book Beginnings, you share the first sentence or so and your initial thoughts, impressions, or whatever else it inspires, and then link up your post's url with Rose City Reader. 

Happy Friday everyone!  This week I'm spotlighting one of my Reindeer Readathon 2024 books, A Scandal in Battersea (Elemental Masters #22) by Mercedes Lackey.  It sounds like this will be perfect for this season, and it will be my first book from this author.  I can't resist a fun Sherlock Holmes story.

Beginning:

Nan Killian was surrounded by mayhem.

56:

"I'm terrified of that blackguard," he heard the old man mutter as he took a seat, but he pretended not to have heard it.
