Tuesday Teaser - Long Overdue!!

Teaser Tuesday is a bookish meme hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

1. Grab your current reading
2. Open to a random page
3. Share two (2) sentences from that page
4. BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE ANY SPOILERS
5. Share the author and title, too, so other TT participants can add it to their TBR lists if they like your teaser.


"He stared up the alley at the doorway through which the new visitor had just entered. "I know that man," he said."

Current read: The Bone Garden, by Tess Gerritsen
This is not generally my style of reading. I started it for my book club assignment. I have not been able to put it down!!

from Goodreads:
Present day: Julia Hamill has made a horrifying discovery on the grounds of her new home in rural Massachusetts: a skull buried in the rocky soil - human, female, and, according to the trained eye of Boston medical examiner Maura Isles, scarred with the unmistakable marks of murder.

Boston, 1830: In order to pay for his education, medical student Norris Marshall has joined the ranks of local “resurrectionists” - those who plunder graveyards and harvest the dead for sale on the black market. But when a distinguished doctor is found murdered and mutilated on university grounds, Norris finds that trafficking in the illicit cadaver trade has made him a prime suspect.

With unflagging suspense and pitch-perfect period detail, THE BONE GARDEN deftly traces the dark mystery at its heart across time and place to a finale as ingeniously conceived as it is shocking
