Teaser Tuesdays: The Cabinet of Curiosities

I haven't really been doing much reading (or blogging) this week -- had some dental work last week and I've been in a sort of Vicodin haze for several days now. But I'm hoping that's all behind me, at least enough for me to get a little reading done. This teaser is from a book I haven't started yet, but one I'm thinking of reading for the RIP/VI Challenge -- Cabinet of Curiosities by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. In this snippet, Nora Kelly has just asked a stranger to leave her office in the New York Museum of Natural History:
But the man didn't leave....She turned. He had extended his hand. Nestled within it was a small, brown skull. (p.17)



Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by mizB at Should Be Reading. If you'd like to read more teasers, or take part yourself, just head on over to her blog.

    Hope you like this one! It's one of the few thrillers that I've read and really enjoyed. Creeped me out--but really enjoyed it!

    I could see a couple of different ways to take something like that. In those circumstances my response might well be, "Ooooo, let me see that!"

    Ohh, intriguing! I've never heard of this before. Not that I recall in any case, but I'm definitely interested. Great choice!

    My teaser is from the wonderful and mysterious novel The Night Circus.
