TITLE: Switched in Death
GENRE: Romantic Suspense
It was always just another day and another dead body - until it was someone you knew.
Detective Seth Banning paused at the bedroom doorway of
Miss Snark's First Victim
Miss Snark's First Victim
Semi-hooked... I like your first line. :)
ReplyDeleteHooked. Almost cliche opening sentence, but still...it grabbed me.

Like it - would read on. Nice if a little more individual. 'until it was someone you'd loved/hated/stalked' for example.
ReplyDeleteHOOKED!! ㋡
ReplyDeleteSemi-hooked. Would probably read on.
ReplyDeleteThe title grabbed me first and the opening sentence grabbed me next.
ReplyDeleteI'd keep reading.
Semi-hooked. Agree that beginning is borderline cliche, but I would keep reading.
ReplyDeleteNot hooked. I think it would work better for me if the info was reversed.
ReplyDelete"Det. Seth Banning paused at the bedroom doorway. It was always just another dead body - until it was someone you knew."
I'm on the fence about this one. The title throws me off because of J.D. Robb's highly popular series, the titles which are all "_____ In Death".
ReplyDeleteKinda hooked.
ReplyDeleteLOVED the first line. Grabbed me and told me to get reay for a ride.
ReplyDeletehooked. First line does catch the eye. Doesn't let you slide by too quickly.
ReplyDeleteAlmost hooked--I liked the opening, but the second line felt like it would finish with a too-common set up for a crime scene opening (detective/officers examining the body/arriving on the scene/whatever) so it would depend a lot on the voice and actual scene for me to read on.
ReplyDeleteI liked it. I'd read on.
ReplyDeleteI'd keep reading. Yes, the first sentence might be somewhat cliched but it did make me wonder who the victim was and how he knew them.
ReplyDeleteGood opener.
ReplyDeleteSemi hooked and I like the title.
ReplyDeleteIt felt a little too cliche to me.
ReplyDeleteSemi-hooked. Decent first line.
