First Line Fridays #3: Murder on the Moor by Julianna Deering

Greetings again from little old England for my latest FLF post.
Is it really that time of the week? Gosh. Finished one novel, still getting through another and behind on my Goodreads Reading Challenge this year, but I will catch up- eventually. I hope. The Kregel Blog Tour for The Captivating Lady Charlotte which I featured last week ends today, thankfully my post went up on Wednesday and that can be ticked off the list.  I've also created my own little graphic, as you can see above.

So this week I am listing a book I am about to start, instead of one I am actually reading (I tend to read two Fiction books at once) by American author Julianna Deering.
The genre combines two of my great loves, History, and Mysteries as part of a Murder Mystery series set in England in the 1930s. A setting evocative of Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers, complete with a charming aristocratic sleuth. In this installment, our hero and his friends end up running into a mystery in a hunting expedition on the Yorkshire Moors.

So without further ado here's our first Line:

"And I sank down where I stood, and hid my face against the ground. I lay still a while: the night swept over the hill and over me and died moaning in the distance; the rain fell fast, wetting me afresh to the skin.' ” 

At Farthering Place, nestled in the Hampshire countryside, the rain also fell fast, drumming against the windowpanes, joining the wind and the thunder to make the cold October night even more forbidding."

I know, I know it's actually two lines, but I chose another because the first line is, in fact, a quote from another book. Hopefully, my review will be up soon, until next time, have a great week.
