This week, I'm reading...
Amelia Moore, founder of the Moore Detective Agency, sat at her desk as she watched an eighteen-year-old girl take a seat in front of her. The young woman wore the new fashion trend, worn out Levis with the washed out look and with a hole here and there.
"I can pay you," said the young woman as she pushed her strawberry-blond hair behind her shoulders. "My name is Kate Clemmons. My parents said they would finance this because it's so important to me. Money is not an issue."
What do you think? Would you keep reading?
Nice teaser...makes me want to know more about the story.

I wonder what young Kate Clemmons wants with a detective. She comes from money, it sounds like. I would keep reading.
ReplyDeleteThis one sounds very tempting! Thanks for sharing...and here's mine: “THE IDEA OF HIM”
ReplyDeleteHmmm, wonder why she needs a detective...
ReplyDeleteNot sure how it all fits together, but I'm slightly curious.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious. Why does she need a detective agency?
ReplyDeleteMy Teaser is from MAJOR PETTIGREW'S LAST
STAND.
I'd like to know more. Why would such a young girl need to employ a detective? Here is my Tuesday Teaser
ReplyDeleteCan't say I've heard of this author, but your teaser does make one want to know more, such as: why would a teenager need a detective? Mine: The Swiss Family Robinson
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good one.
ReplyDeleteNope, I'd have to pass, but hope you love it Yvonne.
ReplyDeleteWonder why the young girl has to hire a detective.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious! The cover is a little cheesy but I love the Ireland tie-in and I want to know more about the story. I might wait for a review or two before I hunt it down though!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great teaser -- I'd love to know what it is she is trying to find out!
ReplyDeleteHere is my TT post.
Can't figure out why an eighteen year old would need a detective. Since I've written that sentence, a couple of reasons have come to mind. I like this one. I would keep reading it.
