The Murderess by Jennifer Wells (Tuesday Intros & Teaser Tuesday)

Even when I wasn't very far into Jennifer Wells' The Murderess, I was finding it difficult to put down. The characters tugged at me and kept pulling me back in and the further I got, the more I had to keep reading to find out what would happen -- and what did happen. The story jumps between Millicent's story in 1915 to Kate's in 1940. It's not an easy task to pull off and I have read far too many books that end up a jumbled mess when such things are attempted, but Wells pulls it off beautifully.  

"First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros" is from the first paragraph or two of a book being read now (or in the future) and is hosted by Bibliophile by the Sea. "Teaser Tuesday" at The Purple Booker asks for a random line or two from anywhere in the book currently being read.
