Teaser Tuesday #613, January 10th

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by Ambrosia of The Purple Booker. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn't give too much away! You don't want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

Today's teaser comes from A Murderous Persuasion by Katie Oliver, page 18.

"The bookstore's flag, with its eye-catching image of a black quill pen silhouetted against a splotch of blood, flapped in the summer breeze as she went up the porch steps to the front door. After retiring from criminal law, her father, Malcolm Brighton, converted the first floor of their inherited Victorian town house into a bookstore, stuffing its shelves with mysteries, police procedurals, noir, cozies, and true crime novels, along with comfortable armchairs tucked in every available nook and cranny."

Wel, that sounds really nice! Go bookstores! Must read more now! What about you guys? Happy reading!
