Teaser Tuesday: The Battered Body by J.B. Stanley


Teaser Tuesday is hosted weekly by Should be Reading . Here are the guidelines :

1. Grab your current read
2. Open to a random page
3. Share 2 "teaser"sentences also citing the title of the book and the author and in that way people can have great recommendations if they like the "teaser.
4. Please avoid spoilers!



This teaser is taken from The Battered Body by J.B. Stanley. Click title for link to review.

"Willow!" Paulette shouted. "Get the luggage into this heap with wheels and let's get going.! The pollution from the jet fuel is going to clog my pores! My hair is already a wreck from standing out here. I hope no one of signifigance recognizes me!" And with that, the Diva of Dough wrenched open the Bronco's rear door and settled herself inside.

I just had to throw in the extra sentences so you would get an inkling of how lovely this person is. Smirk . . . .Not!

  2. You're always reading such fun mysteries - at least I hope, The Battered Body is a mystery/suspense!

    "Diva of Dough"...That is an excellent title, though certainly one that significant someones may not take seriously! :)
