Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just open your current read to a random page and share a few sentences. Be careful not to include spoilers!
My excitement about Tana French has only grown as I’ve read her books, culminating with the first she wrote but the last I read, The Likeness. So I was very anxious to get my hands on her new book, Broken Harbor. My review is coming in a day or so, but for now I will tell you that she does not disappoint! Here’s an example of why:
It was October, a thick, cold, gray Tuesday morning, sulky and tantrumy as March.
The plot and the characters are wonderful, too. But I love the evocative tone of that one sentence. Doesn’t it help you picture Dublin (and surrounding areas), and feel the cold? The strong sense of place is one of my favorite elements of French’s mysteries. I’ll go ahead and give her points for “tantrumy,” too, although I’m sure some purists will be offended. 🙂
How’s your Tuesday, and what are you reading?

I was disappointed with The Woods but the second book was much better. I look forward to this one…Here is my TT http://newpaperadventures.blogspot.com/2012/09/teaser-tuesday-9412.html
I thought In the Woods was probably her weakest, yea.
What a coincidence, that’s what the weather looks like in my area today.
lol. art imitates life.
