Teaser Tuesday: The Lost Symbol


This week my teaser lines come from The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown.  In this snippet from page 48 we're in Washington DC, with a tour group visiting the Capitol Rotunda:
As the bald man hurried off, disappearing through the east portico, a little boy nearby could be heard saying, "Mommy, that man dropped something." The boy drifted toward the object but suddenly stopped short.  After a long, motionless beat, he pointed and let out a deafening scream.
In all my years of working in Washington, I never visited the Rotunda.  But there were plenty of other things about DC that made me want to scream!

    I wasn't crazy about this one... like DaVinci Code better.

    So far, I'm enjoying it pretty much, but I think I liked the DaVinci Code better, too.

    Thanks for the visit, and have a great week of reading!

      You're right about that! With Dan Brown, you can always expect lots of action and many twists and turns. And I think that's just what I need right now!

      Thanks for stopping by, and happy reading this week.

    I borrowed this one from my sister last year and still haven't got round to reading it. Must make an effort to do so this year. BTW, I have been to the Capitol and rotunda--well worth the visit! my teaser
