Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted at The Purple Booker.
Anyone can play along by doing 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!
”Martha’s and Sarah’s grins loomed skeletal in the dimming light. Their faces are enough to scare away death itself, Polly thought.”
(~ A Brutal Chill in August: A Novel of Polly Nichols, The First Victim of Jack the Ripper by Alan M. Clark, Kindle Edition, 2016)
[ A book from Ellon Datlow’s 2017 suggestions, and a pleasant surprise. Not gore and horror, but a nice historical rendition of London’s destitute East End in 1880s.]
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Teaser Tuesdays post, or share your ‘teasers’ in a comment here and/or in The Purple Booker.
Sounds interesting. I have been reading a number of mysteries set in this time period lately. Here are mine.
I’m not sure this can be considered a mystery. It’s sort of spooky, though.
I haven’t read any Jack the Ripper…time to change that. Thanks for sharing, and here’s mine: “THE LYING GAME”
Yes, this is going to be a good starting point.
Intriguing. It’s been a while since I’ve read any Jack The Ripper related books. I hope you enjoy it!
Here’s my teaser.
One of the best I’ve read so far. Nothing can beat Patricia Cornwell’s non-fiction book, but this comes close for the settings.
Sounds like an interesting perspective. I haven’t read anything in that time period in a while. My Teaser
Definitively worth a reading!
I’d like to read this. It’s a different perspective on the Ripper stories.

If you like the general topic, you’ll enjoy this one. 🙂
This sounds a great read, Steph. Many thanks for sharing it.
