It’s First Line Friday!  Hosted by Reading Is My Superpower, you write the first line of the book you are currently reading.

Currently I am reading Death At Chelsea by Anna Sayburn Lane (click for link to Goodreads)

Book Description From Goodreads:

“The prettiest flowers can be deadly…

Detective duo Mrs Jameson and Marjorie Swallow are called to investigate when a renowned garden designer suspects that someone is sabotaging her priceless Himalayan Sapphire Lilies, ahead of the 1923 Chelsea Flower Show. But soon it’s not just the flowers that are dying. Rival gardeners, intrepid plant hunters and even King George V himself are caught up in a poisonous bouquet with its roots deep in the mountains of Tibet.

The third in the Marjorie Swallow 1920s murder mystery series requires all her wit, charm and pluck to solve.”

FIRST LINE:

“The scent was sweet and slightly cloying, like lily of the valley that had started to decay in its vase.”

Would you carry on reading? I am enjoying it so far. I am on the Blog Tour for this book on 9 July, so keep your eyes peeled for my review.
