The Friday 56 is hosted by Freda’s Voice. The rules are simple – turn to page 56 in your current read (or 56% in your e-reader) and post a few non-spoilery sentences.
Today’s quote is from Number One Chinese Restaurant by Lillian Li.
Poor wifey, she’d tuckered herself out. He gently pulled down the quilts, searching for her forehead, her lovely fat cheeks.
But from the nest of fabric, a thick pillow emerged. Confused, he pawed the quilts down farther. He grew desperate to see her tufts of hair and chilled scalp, her familiar, clammy skin, but still more pillow showed. He tore the bed apart, throwing sheets onto the floor, and only when the mattress was bare did he stop. His wife was not home. He had no idea where she’d gone.
Well that’s quite the mystery. And only a side-note to the main plot! I am intrigued. Full review up when I finish the book!
Goddess In The Stacks 
Hmm? Interesting. I wonder where she is. This week I am spotlighting Those Who Go By Night by Andrew Gaddes – a medieval mystery from my review stack. Happy reading!
This sounds like an interesting read! Looking forward to your review.
Interesting! This one has been on my TBR and I like the 56!
Sounds very good! Have a great week ahead!
