This week my teaser lines come from In the Dark Places, Peter Robinson's 22nd Inspector Banks mystery novel, just out today from William Morrow publishers. (It was first published in the UK last year, with the title Abattoir Blues.) This snippet is from page 3, or location 110 of the Kindle version:
...he picked up that rank and coppery smell of blood. It was a smell he remembered well.Well, we have possible mayhem almost from the very start of this one. I think it's definitely off to a promising start.
The thought came into his mind unbidden: someone has died here.

I like the description: "rank and coppery smell." I haven't read this series, but it sounds like one I'd enjoy.
ReplyDeleteMy Tuesday post features THE LAND OF MANGO SUNSETS.
Yes, that is a very vivid description! I love a book that brings us right into the suspense.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, and here's mine: “X: (KINSEY MILLHONE BOOK #24)”
I really enjoy Peter Robinson's books--at least the small few I have read. He's one of those authors I keep meaning to read more by.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely pulls you in....
