TEASER TUESDAYS : Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by MizB over at Should Be Reading ~ I always look forward to reading everyone's teasers!My 2 “Teaser” Sentences for today:
Brisbane noted it as well. "You're playing it quite wrong," he advised. "You ought to be disdainful and remote and tell me that you plan to go back to London and if I wish to see you, I will have to follow you there."~ p. 79, “Silent on the Moor (A Julia Grey Mystery #3) by Deanna Raybourn
Note: This is the Advance Uncorrected Proof. I LOVED the first two books and just had to start this one tonight, so I'm not very far yet.
From Amazon:
This is a wickedly witty Lady Julia Grey mystery. 'There are things that walk abroad on the moor that should not. But the dead do not always lie quietly, do they, lady?' It is England, 1888. Grimsgrave Manor is an unhappy house, isolated on the Yorkshire moors, silent and secretive. But secrets cannot be long kept in the face of Lady Julia Grey's incurable curiosity. In the teeth of protests from her conventional, stuffy brother, Lady Julia decides to pay a visit to the enigmatic detective, Nicholas Brisbane to bring a woman's touch to his new estate. Grimsgrave is haunted by the ghosts of its past, and its owner seems to be falling into ruin along with the house. Confronted with gypsy warnings and Brisbane's elusive behaviour, Lady Julia scents a mystery. It's not long before her desire for answers leads her into danger unlike any other that she has experienced - and from which, this time, there may be no escape.

Funny teaser - isn't it just like a man to tell someone how to behave? =P
Mine's here.
I have to catch up with Deanna Raybourn's books. They have the first one in my library and i very much like the look of it!
Haha! Sounds like he's looking for a chase.
Falling in love can be dangerous but hey it's 1888, someone is bound to get lucky in a year like that! lol
Great teaser!
I have the first in the series on my TBR list. The next time I go to the library it will be mine :)
"...Grimsgrave Manor is an unhappy house..."
I'll bet!
Nice teaser Wendi--So I wonder if he follows her after all? Mine is posted here.
Basically he wants her to play hard to get. LOL!
Well, I am jealous. I can't wait to read this one. Enjoyed the first two.
I haven't read anything in this genre in too many years. This one sounds very good.
I love the subtle romance behind this passage! Great choice for a teaser.

This sounds like a series I'd really like. I'll have to check it out. You've teased me into curiousity ;)

I wonder how similiar this series is to Anne Perry's Victorian mysteries?
