Teaser Tuesday--Four For You

Gerard's:
  
As their voices blend into a chorus of rising agitation, I can't help noticing that the vultures overhead are tracing tighter and tighter circles, as if homing in on our distress.

From page 52 of Die Again by Tess Gerritsen.

Who was it said that following your heart is a good thing?  It is pure egotism, a selfishness to conquer all.  Hatred floods me.

From page 31 of The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins.

Karen's: 

You need to have a man-to-man with him, Mark.  I'm serious.  I sat there and actually thought through what it would feel like to choke our son.

From Loc. 315-16 on Kindle of Stepping Down by Michelle Stimpson.

My stomach somersaulted.  "Maybe you could teach me to drive a motorcar before I attempt a plane."

From page 13 of Wings of a Dream by Anne Mateer.

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should  Be Reading. Anyone can play along, so I thought  I  would play for fun! Just pick two sentences from the book you are reading.

Happy Reading!

"Die Again" by Tess Gerritsen - Loved it!

Die Again by Tess Gerritsen finds Jane and Maura being summoned to a crime scene.  It looks like a killing by a large cat, but that cannot be, or can it?  Six years earlier, a group of tourists in Africa were killed except for one.  Now they need that one to bring the killer out in Boston.

This book is a real page turner with lots of action and a good ending.  I LOVED it!

"Hidden Agenda" by Lisa Harris is both Suspenseful and Action-Packed!

Hidden Agenda by Lisa Harris is about Michael, an undercover cop whose cover is blown and is scheduled to be killed but is rescued by the son (Ivan) and daughter (Olivia) of the man who wants him dead.  They barely escape from the island and then are on the run for pretty much the rest of the book!  Ivan is deaf but good with computers and pretty smart but his older sister, Olivia, a reporter, feels responsible for keeping him safe.

This is a good read with a lot of suspense and action that kept my interest.  The relationships are all interesting too.  It deals with family relationships, secrets, betrayal, fear and romance between an unlikely couple from two different worlds.

"The Sweetness of Life" by Paulus Hochgatterer Needs More Action

The Sweetness of Life by Paulus Hochgatterer is about an old man who is killed in a most gruesome way and the only witness is a mute girl.  A detective and psychiatrist are trying to find out who did it and why.  I found the story interesting but very little action dooms this book in my mind.  It is short and moves along pretty good.

"All The Things You Are" by Declan Hughes - a Mystery

All the Things You Are by Declan Hughes kept me interested all the way.  Imagine coming home from a trip and finding your husband, children and most of your furniture gone!  This is what Clare, the female lead in this novel, comes home to find.  Is her family safe, and who did this and why?  Where did they go?

This is a good book that went back in time to set the scene.  It skips around some, which many people on Amazon had a problem with, but I did not.  I enjoyed this book and liked the ending too!
