This are the first few sentences from a book I'm writing--currently I'm in the process of editing it. Let me know what you think. Would you buy this book?

Cathy groped wildly around the end of her bed for the ringing telephone. Last night, she’d tossed the cordless at the bottom of her bed, but somehow it’d disappeared in the middle of the night.

"On the floor, Cathy."

Cathy jumped and saw her dad appearing in her doorway, his shape silhouetted in the light streaming through the windows, a stark contrast to Cathy’s dark room. He stepped fully into the room and Cathy squinted against the light as she took the phone from his hand.

Let me know what you think. I read somewhere that good writing makes the reader asks questions, so.... do these paragraphs make you ask questions about what's happening in the story? Any other critiques or comments are welcome.
