The book is The Man from the Train and basically tries to unravel/prove that one man was behind a string of gruesome axe-murders. It's really interesting, but I do with that the book is more focused.
Teaser:
"John Zoos, a Polish immigrant, worked in a plumbago mine, got home about dusk, found his family murdered. (The world plumbago is now only used for a flowering plant. A hundred years ago, however, it was primarily used for graphite)."The teaser sort of shows one of the problems I have with the book - there are all these inserts that I don't really think are necessary.
What about you? What are you reading this week?
How to participate in Teaser Tuesday:
•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!
I do like cold case stories. Not sure about this one as you mention some issues with it. When something slows the reading or interrupts my focus I tend to watch for more of it, causing more distractions. Great cover.

Sounds interesting but I think the inserts would irritate me too. Come see my teasers here. Happy reading!
