The Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings): The Devil and the Dark Water by Stuart Turton

 

  

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 Magical Readathon: Orilium - Autumn Equinox 2025 books, The Devil and the Dark Water by Stuart Turton.  I really liked The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, so I'm really looking forward to this historical mystery.

Beginning:

Arent Hayes howled in pain as a rock slammed into his massive back.

56:

"Before he lost his tongue, did Bosey say anything else about this bargain he struck or who it was with?" asked Sara.
