First Chapter ~ First Paragraph

It's Tuesday . . . time for . . . 

                                                      
 

First Chapter ~ First Paragraph Tuesday Intros, now hosted by Vicki at I'd Rather Be At The Beach, where bloggers post the first paragraph(s) of a book they are currently reading or planning to read sometime soon.   

Today I'm featuring the book I just finished for a blog tour, The Spirit in Question by Cynthia Kuhn.  The excerpt shared is from the electronic version I received from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.  

 

Chapter 1
"Commence the murder!" Everything went dark, a shot rang out, and something crashed to the ground.  

I held my breath, unable to move. 


What do you think?  Would you continue reading?
I did continue to read this humorous cozy mystery set on a college campus in Colorado, where English professor Lila Maclean finds herself serving as the assistant director of the play, Puzzled: The Musical, an outlandish post-modern mystery.  The play seems doomed from the start, as mishap after mishap unfolds.
