Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
* Grab your current read
* Open to a random page
* Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
* BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
* Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
This week's book...
First chapter...
If looks could kill, the plumbing inspector giving me the bad news would have been in big trouble. "What do you mean there's a crack in the water line?" I said. "That's just not possible."
"Right here." He pointed. "You're going to have to replace this whole piece."
Teaser....
"I have proof. I heard a noise and found...You need to come down here. It'd be better if I showed it to you. Then we can turn it over to the police and get to the bottom of this whole thing."
What do you think? Would you keep reading?

ReplyDeleteThat is the question. I've been reading a lot of Cozies lately, as you know, lol.
ReplyDeleteIt's back to the classics for my TT this week though with The Octopus: A Story of California by Frank Norris at http://wp.me/pZnGI-sc
That first paragraph was a nice set-up. It made me want to find out more. I'd keep reading.
ReplyDeleteI like the opening to this cozy. "If looks could kill" hints at a murder, doesn't it? Your teaser makes me wonder what she found!
ReplyDeleteMy Tuesday post features THE JOURNEY BACK – A Doublesight Story.
Ooh, love the sound of this one...except nobody wants to hear about a crack in the water line. Love the cover, too.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine: “OUT OF ORANGE”
Nice teaser. Cozies are so much fun and they seem to be in endless supply. My teaser comes from Killing Trail by Margaret Mizushima this week. Happy reading!
