Teaser Tuesday 7/19/11

It's time for Teaser Tuesday, where I post two sentences from a book I'm reading to whet your appetite and see if it's a book you might be interested in reading.


"She knew what people said--that there were bodies buried all over the state, men who'd met their bloody end at Stella's hands. The truth was that despite beating, interrogating, threatening, and torturing her parolees; despite leaving them with scars, broken bones, burns, post-traumatic stress disorder, even the occasional missing limb--despite all of this, she hadn't killed a single parolee, no matter how blackhearted and irredeemable he was."

This is a Kindle e-book, so I don't have a page number; 33% of the way through. "A Bad Day for Sorry: A Crime Novel," by Sophie Littlefield.

This one's pretty funny!

I like the title of that book.

Have you noticed that you can see page numbers with some Kindle books but not with others?

M.J., I think I've had one book with some kind of numbering, so far.

Yvonne, the title is what made me look at it.

Summer, I loved that this was the page I happened to be on when I needed a teaser.

Jessica, the title definitely fits the story!

Jennifer, I'm enjoying it, so far.
