The Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings): The Scapegoat by Daphne du Maurier

  

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 reads, The Scapegoat by Daphne du Maurier.  Rebecca is one of my favorites and I recently picked up this lesser known gothic mystery from her and can't wait to try it.

Beginning:

I left the car by the side of the cathedral, and then walked down the steps into the Place des Jacobins.

56:

I stood quite still, fearing I might be heard from the room beyond.

Are you participating in this readathon?  Have you read this book?  As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!
