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.

Now I am definitely curious. Thanks for sharing, and here's mine: “THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR”
Sounds good. It's been a long time since I read Agatha Christie, but I suddenly want to do some binge-reading. Great excerpts.
