I remember walking into my local Barnes and Nobles years ago and by years ago I'm thinking 12-25 -ish years ago. So that should help, NOT.

I remember I was shocked with the opening.. the main table in front had the newest novel in hardback adn the opening line went something like this:

I killed her, this is the room where I murdered my wife....


does anyone know what that book might be? I know its like finding a needle in a haystack, but I figure its worth a shot.
thanks

I'm sorry I can't help you, but I hope you find it. Mainly because I'd like to congratulate the author on writing an opening line that you remember...without reading the book, 20 years later! Now that's a great opener :)

Wow... great opening, if that is the opening line. Sounds like something out of "Double Indemnity" and if you read that novella you'll see why.

If you find the novel you're looking for, clue us in. That one line sounds so interesting. May we all be so skillful in writing our opening lines.
