Teaser Tuesdays: Venom

This week my teaser lines come from Joan Brady's thriller Venom. I just finished reading this one, and hope to get a review up today or tomorrow, if all goes well. I should note that the quote comes from an uncorrected proof of the book, so it may differ from the actual published version, due to be released later this year.

And, yes, I know this is more than two sentences, but it's short and I just couldn't pass up that last part:
Justice Samuel Clark woke up on the outskirts of America's capital city with thoughts of breakfast coffee. He loved the morning even when his wife was at home. Without her? Pure bliss. [p.19]
Don't you just love to see a happy marriage? I wonder what my own hubby would say about that sentiment. Probably best not to ask, right?


Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by mizb17 at Should Be Reading. If you'd like to read more teasers, or do a little teasing yourself, head on over to her blog. And these are the rules: Grab your current read; Let the book fall open to a random page. Share with us two (2) "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page. You also need to share the title of the book that you're getting your "teaser" from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you've given! Please avoid spoilers!

  11. Nice teaser! And I'm pleased to know the book exists as Joan Brady doesn't seem to have much of a profile in the Uk these days. Which is a shame, because what of hers I've read I've liked.

Welcome and thanks for leaving me a comment. I love to hear from visitors.

Also, please note that while I appreciate the thought, I don't play the blog awards game. I think you all deserve awards! But you might think about becoming a follower of my blog -- that would really be the best award.
