This week's book...
First chapter...
The Dead Girl
"It's...sensitive," Grady had said on the phone, his voice tight.
Now I understood why. My car crawled down a rural road thick with new snow. It was still dark and way too damn early on a Wednesday morning. The address he'd given me was on Grimace Lane. Turned out the place was an Amish farm in the middle of a whole of other Amish farms in the borough of Paradise, Pennsylvania.
Sensitive like a broken tooth. Murders didn't happen here, not here. The last dregs of sleep and yet another nightmare in which I'd been holding my husband's cold, dead hand in the rain evaporated under a surge of adrenaline. Oh yes, I was wide awake now.
Teaser....
More vehicles pulled up outside. The forensics team, no doubt. I was gratified that Grady had called me in first. It was good to see the scene before it turned into a lab.
What do you think? Would you keep reading?
Not heard of this series but sounds interesting.

My teaser
Oh, this one sounds good. I'll be on the lookout for it.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the promising start to a new series.
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting. I haven't read this author yet, but I like the writing. Here's My Teaser
ReplyDeleteSounds good. Mine is also a mystery. My adult teaser comes from Haunting Investigation by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteSounds like my kind of book. Girl Who Reads
ReplyDeleteI can bet this is one investigation that will be quite complicated. I like the opening and teaser you shared, Yvonne. I'm definitely more in a mystery mood these days and this one sounds good. I hope you are enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't sound like the usual run-of-the-mill Amish story. More detective than romance, which appeals to me. Here's my intro and teaser from the true story of twins separated shortly after birth: http://wp.me/p4DMf0-15Z
ReplyDeleteGreat excerpts, and what a stark and wonderful cover. Thanks for sharing...and here's mine: “BEHIND CLOSED DOORS”
ReplyDeleteThis looks really good. I'd keep reading!
ReplyDeleteI feel like everyone is posting murder mysteries today - ha! Unfortunately, they aren't really my cup of tea, but I hope you enjoy this one!
ReplyDeleteI am trying to stay away from series reads, but, this does sound good. Hope u enjoy it.

ReplyDeleteI love the cover but the snippets pulled me in.

ReplyDeleteHere's my Teaser
This does sound promising--I'd read more!
ReplyDeleteI've read several books that take place in Amish communities and enjoy learning about their values and way of life. Such a lovely cover too.
