Ramble-y Teaserish Stuff

It's rare that I'll use the same book for back-to-back teaser posts but some just deserve it. 

For this past Book Beginnings & Friday 56 I used the Prologue for the beginning. I went with the first bit of Chapter One for today's Tuesday Intro. I almost did the next book on my list since I will likely be starting it within the next couple of hours, but that can wait. The explanation of where the title came from for today's teaser really couldn't. Well, it easily could have ... but ... oh never mind. 

I did make the horrible mistake of watching the Poirot episode this weekend (season 11, episode 2 if you're curious). Great casting but ... even though it's not my favorite Poirot novel, read the book. Watch the episode, too, if you must. The book is still better.

of a book being read now (or in the future) and is hosted by Socrates' Book Reviews. 

"Teaser Tuesday" at The Purple Booker asks for a random line or two
from anywhere in the book currently being read.
