I'm following the lead of Christine
Rains – it's called Teaser Tuesday! Felt like being a copy cat today!
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by
MizB of Should Be Reading.
Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
Grab your current read
Open to a random page
Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that
page
BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that
what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for
others!)
Share the title & author, too, so that other TT
participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
Bolero is a novel by Joanie McDonell and introduces
Private Eye Nick Sayler. It's a great read, fun, fast, and engrossing!
Here's your teaser:
… Julia Carteret had become, over only one decade, an
almost mythic figure. Ironically, it took the circumstances of her death to
prove that she was human. (page 137 of the book!)
Blurb:
Bolero introduces Nick
Sayler, the private investigator who lives aboard a Hudson River barge with a
brilliant savant, a retired psychiatrist and a stunning Creole girl. But
Sayler’s haunted by memories of the woman who took a bullet meant for him, so
his good life is belied by a bad drinking habit.
Then an emergency room doctor’s desperate call about a
ballerina with no memory and nothing on her except his card, changes
everything. If he can dip into his notorious past to uncover the secret that
will save the dancer, maybe he can finally save himself.
The Author:
Joanie McDonell, who once spent a lot of time aboard a
barge very much like the Dumb Luck, now lives on the beach near the eastern end
of Long Island. She's written poems, screenplays, the novel Half Crazy, and The Little Book of Hope. She is currently at work on the next book
featuring Private Investigator Nick Sayler.
