Teaser Tuesday - The Killer of Little Shepherds by Douglas Starr

So it's Tuesday again. Lately, I've been in kind of a reading slump - I have so many Japanese books to read, I end up not wanting to read at all, not in English or Japanese. Anyway, I'm hoping this week's book can break the slump.

The Killer of Little Shepherds is a non-fiction story about the French version of Jack the Ripper and how forensic science came about (like what the subtitle says). I like Bones and CSI, so I'm hoping this gets me all the way through the end, and I can go back to reading at my usual pace instead of spending my commute playing games on the phone.

Teaser:

"Friar Brûlé straightened the clothing to restore the girl's modesty and cover her ghastly wounds. Someone, apparently, had stolen her shoes." 

What is your teaser this week?

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of A Daily Rhythm. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read 

• Open to a random page 

• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page 

• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!) 

• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
