What is First Lines Fridays?
First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?
- Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
- Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
- Finally… reveal the book!
My Pick For This Week
The first lines of the book:
The steam from the hot chocolate curled up like tiny ghosts, vanishing before they reached the ceiling of Little Brick Brew. I wrapped my fingers around the mug, welcoming the warmth but unable to shake off the chill of apprehension that clung to my bones.

And the book is...
When Peyton Hart returns to the quaint town of Wallshire, she hopes to reconnect with her estranged mother and maybe even find her place in the world.
Instead, she’s thrust into a nightmare when Katarina, the enigmatic owner of the tea shop Steeped in Mysteary, is found dead—poisoned by her own brew.
To make matters worse, Peyton becomes the prime suspect in the investigation.
With the sharp-eyed Detective Levi Kessler questioning her every move and the town buzzing with gossip, Peyton finds herself caught in a web of secrets she never knew her mother was hiding.
Determined to clear her name and uncover the truth, Peyton dives headfirst into Wallshire’s quirky community, where everyone seems to have something to hide.
From cryptic notes in the tea shop to rivalries that run deeper than the finest Darjeeling, Peyton must navigate a blend of danger and charm to piece together the mystery.
A Brew Most Foul is a heartwarming and suspenseful cozy mystery that invites readers to savor every clue—and every cup of tea—while rooting for a heroine who’s learning to trust herself, one steep at a time.
