Teaser Tuesday - May 7, 2013 Edition




Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. 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!

This week my TT is from To Have and To Kill: A Wedding Cake Mystery by Mary Jane Clark




Chapter 4

     A disheveled man wearing a torn jacket, filthy pants and woolen gloves with the fingertips cutoff sat huddled over a heating grate in the sidewalk. 

     Piper took a $5 bill from her wallet and handed it to him.  "Merry Christmas," she said.  Food.  Promise me you'll use it for food."


Piper Donovan, an actress who has been having a hard time of it living in Manhattan, has returned home to her parents’ small town in New Jersey. She’s been helping out at her mother’s bakery, which makes it perfect that Piper’s close friend, Glenna Brooks, has asked her to prepare the cake for her upcoming wedding. However, things aren’t as perfect as they seem, and when there is a murder, Piper is determined to figure out what happened and protect her friend.



PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Teaser Tuesdays post, or share your ‘teasers’ in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks!

  4. I like books by this author, so I'd keep going. I've given up attaching strings to my donations. Use it for beer, whatever. Enjoy life! Here's Mine

  5. Nice teaser. I enjoy reading Mary Jane Clark every now and again -- she has replaced Mary Higgins Clark for me ;-)

    My teaser is from THE HAUNTING SEASON by Michelle Muto.
