Teaser Tuesdays


Miz B of Should Be Reading hosts Teaser Tuesdays. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

*Grab your current read.
*Open to a random page.
*Share two "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page.
*BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! You don't want to ruin the book for others.
*Share the titel & author too, so other TT participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teaser!

Here's my teaser from Death of a Tall Man by Frances & Richard Lockridge (p. 72)

"We'll check, of course," he said. "Detectives must be suspicious, like it says in the book. Suspicious of shopping trips, suspicious of afternoons spent at desks, suspicious of young men on the loose in building lobbies at the appropriate times--young men who run away."

"And of girls of twenty in love with--flighty men?" Pam said.

By all means, of girls of twenty, Bill told her. Particularly when in love.

  10. Great teaser! Is this one of their Mr & Mrs North books? I think I read a few of those, many years back. Good books.

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.

If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
