Teaser Tuesday 2.22.11



The rules for Teaser Tuesday are simple -
  • Let your current book fall open to a random page
  • Choose 2 teaser sentences to share
  • Be careful NOT to include any spoilers
  • List the title, author and page number you took your teasers from
This week my teasers are from the first book in a new mystery series by Nancy Martin. You may remember Ms. Martin's Blackbird Sisters Mysteries. I love them and have read them all! This new series is a spin-off and the protagonist is Roxy Abruzzo. She owns an architectural salvage company. She's a tough gal who doesn't take any crap from anybody, even her uncle Carmine, a local mob boss who is trying to suck her into the 'family business'. Here are my teaaser sentences. . .

Roxy thought about what it meant that her daughter was dating the one kid with the most direct line of communication to the police department. She steadied herself on the newel. The chief of police's kid coming around on the exact week Carmine asked her to join his crew-that's all she needed. ~page 128


For more teasers stop by MizB's Should Be Reading each Tuesday. Its a great way to get a sneak peek into some great books.

    LOL - sounds like a fun book from your teaser and description... plus, it made me think of Weeds (tv show) for some reason. :)

    Hope you're enjoying this one, Lisa. I read it last year and thought it was an ok read but I like Martin's Blackbird sisters better.
