My Tuesday Intro pick is from, The One I Left Behind, a NetGalley book that caught my interest the other night as I was browsing through my titles trying to decide which one to read next. The first paragraph is chilling and scary...I couldn't stop reading!!!

It began with the hands. Right hands, severed neatly at the wrist. They arrived on the granite steps of the police station in empty red and white milk cartons stapled closed at the top, photos of missing children on the back--the whole package wrapped in brown butcher's paper, tied neatly with thin string like a box of pastry.
Based on the opening paragraph would you keep reading?
OMG...yes I'd keep reading, gory enough for me. This sounds like a good one -- enjoy Staci
ReplyDeleteEw!!! No way! Too scary for me!
ReplyDeleteA bit scary. I would have to be in the mood!
ReplyDeleteGory but good.
ReplyDeleteYIKES!! Oh YES! I would!!!
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Diane. That's quite a teaser!
ReplyDeleteI've got this on my stacks and must not have opened it up to read the beginning or I'd have kept reading! Look forward to your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteEewww, no way!!
ReplyDeleteI've had this one on my shelf since Bouchercon in October. Why isn't there more time for reading?
ReplyDeleteNormally, I love a good mystery but this is a bit too graphic. Possible bad dreams?
ReplyDeleteHoly crap YES, can't wait for your final thoughts on this one :)
ReplyDeleteYes definitely. Picking it up at B&N on Friday. Thanks.
