Teaser Tuesday

"The secret we both protected during my administration is now the subject of some very serious questions. The person referred to in the matter is now deceased and can no longer come to harm."

(Page 397, The Girls Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson)

I'm down to the last instalment of Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy and I will be very sad to close the last chapter. It's a real pity Larsson passed away and we will not be recipients of any more of his very interesting and engrossing work. Next step, watch the movies...

My teasers today:

"For some reasons I found myself shivering. There was something taut and undisguisedly vital about the athletic figure sitting opposite us, something of the tiger about to spring."

My teasers today:

...And who thought it was a good idea to rent bicycles to Italian adolescent language students? If hell did exist, it would be governed by a committee of fifteen-year-old Italian boys on bikes....

[ from page 161 - "Case Histories" by Kate Atkinson]

All the elements are in this book: humor, pathos, suspense, tragedy, emotion, irony and a small touch of paranormal. Kate Atkison at her best! Not to be missed.

This week my teasers are:

"I see the King's hands put down his instruments. He picks up
a cloth and wipes blood and viscera off his fingers."

(Page 92, Restoration by Rose Tremain)

Teaser Tuesday

This week my teasers are:

"...But Rebecca would never grow old, Rebecca would always be the same. And her I could not fight, she was too strong for me."

(Page 262, "Rebecca" by Daphne Du Maurier)

Forget the Hitchock's movie, the many plays you might have or not have seen,
this is the real thing. A really suspensful and chilling story that will keep you gripped from the start till the end!

P.S. Read it when you've got time free because you won't want to put it down.

Teaser Tuesday ...

....on a Wednesday! Apologies for my delayed Teasers but yesterday I was distracted by our lovely Nutella pancakes (see below) and didn't have the time to post... Anyway, it must still be Tuesday somewhere around the world...or not?



Today my teasers are :

'And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to burn men with heat of fire".

(Page 272 of "Revelation" by C.J. Sansom)

The quotes are actually from the Book of Revelation but are part of this

historical novel/thriller set at the time of Henry VIII and

it's Matthew Shardlake's the fourth instalment, although you don't need to have read the previous novels to enjoy this one.

Teaser Tuesday

I don't usually do meme, as I'm always late and always catching up with something, but this Teaser Tuesday is fascinanting and interesting and another way of suggesting/finding new books.

This is my first teaser:

"New information was hard to retain, because of the amount of useless old information littering his brain. It was strange that the one thing that he seemd to remember from school was poetry, probably the subject he had paid least attention at the time."

(Page 302 from When Will There Be Good News by Kate Atkinson)
