Teaser Tuesdays and It's Tuesday Where Are You?


I'm currently living and working in mid-1800s Victorian England. I'm a man of leisure but I do enjoy solving a mystery here and there. I've set out to help my good friend, Lady Jane figure out if her former servant committed suicide or if something more sinister is amiss in the Barnard mansion.

TEASER TUESDAYS asks you to:
Grab your current read.
Let the book fall open to a random page.
Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
Please avoid spoilers!

    This sounds like a good cozy mystery. Or else someone has a strange hobby for some other reason.

    something sinister!
    I'm actually in Portugal living the life of extreme wealth in the mid 1800's. and it doesn't look good for my character.

    Oooh, we are in the same period this week and I'm caught up in a mystery too.

    Sounds good. The library don't have this one so it has been added to my wishlist for the moment.
