Hello, welcome to another BookBeginnings and Friday 56 post.

BookBeginnings, hosted by Rose City Reader, and The Friday 56 – hosted by Freda’s Voice are the hosting sites for the Friday link ups, where we discover more books, and make friends. Both involve sharing excerpts from a current book – the beginning and – you guessed it – page 56

My Book Beginnings:

Today my Book Beginnings and Friday 56 will be taken from Remnants by Carolyn Arnold.

THE TIME HAD COME TO select his next victim. He had to choose carefully and perfectly— he wouldn’t get a second chance.

When multiple body parts are recovered from the Little Ogeechee River in Savannah, Georgia, local law enforcement calls in FBI agent and profiler Brandon Fisher and his team to investigate. But with the remains pointing to three separate victims, this isn’t proving to be an open-and-shut case.

With no quick means of identifying the deceased, building a profile of this serial killer is more challenging than usual. How are these targets being selected? Why are their limbs being severed and their bodies mutilated? And what is it about them that is triggering this person to murder?

The questions compound as the body count continues to rise, and when a torso painted blue and missing its heart is found, the case takes an even darker turn. But this is only the beginning, and these new leads draw the FBI into a creepy psychological nightmare. One thing is clear, though: The killing isn’t going to stop until they figure it all out. And they are running out of time…
