Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.

You will recall the book beginning I recently posted for this book. I wanted to share another tidbit, equally delectable:

“Used to be some call for ’em,” he said over the phone in a drawl that sounded like Southern Comfort cut with a generous squeeze of lime.

The man with the voice is, appropriately, a citrus farmer in Florida. How charming is this author??

This quotation comes from an uncorrected advance proof and is subject to change.
