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!

From The Night Manager by John le Carré, p. 54.

Sounds very clandestine. But then I guess you'd expect that with le Carre, wouldn't you? Nice teasers.

My teaser is here under the Galway Bay tour post.
It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you! Good teaser.
My teasers are here.

As a caveat, I haven't really liked the book, and they have marketed it with their sassy, sarcastic tones, hence the blunt first sentence!
I like this! Hope you're enjoying it.
sounds really intriguing....happy TT!
Very sneaky!
