I’m starting Missing Barbados by Willem Pain sometime today, so I’d thought I’d share the first bit of Chapter 1.
Susan Berg passed by the ninth floor like bird poop falling out of the crystal blue Miami sky. At 32 feet per second, most would think that the building would be moving by very quickly. Funny how the mind works in an unusual circumstance like this, she thought. It all actually slows down, almost to a snail’s crawl, perhaps because your body and mind have entered some sort of shock.
Robert Merchant looked the same way as he seemed to float on a downward descent next to Susan, his eyes as big as saucers, his moth agape like a dry-bed guppy gasping for air. How was she to know he wasn’t Luther Stein, the weasel bastard whom she was sure had broken into her eleventh floor condo to steal the evidence she had on him?
So, what do you think? Keep reading or not?

Definitely piqued my curiosity! Thanks for sharing…and for visiting my blog.
Not sure it’s a book for me, but hope you enjoy it!
🙂
Don’t think I’d like this one, but hope that you do. Thanks for joining in.
Not sure I’d keep going, but I hope you like it 🙂
Wow…this seems like a different sort of book than you normally read…what do you think of it?
So far it’s amusing.
Not sure about the cover but I’m intrigued by that paragraph. Sounds a bit cheesy and probably a book I’d have to be in the right frame of mind to read but yeah I’d give it a go.
Yeah, I think it’s one to just relax and enjoy, not overthink.
The bird poop won me over 🙂 I like a different type of humor.
Now that is some unique description!
