It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair. And then the murders began.

It doesn't work for James Ellroy either, mostly because the murders have already started in the first sentence. But not always, it took a couple of sentences in LA Confidential.
