Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. You know the rules: grab your current read, open to a random page and share a two sentence teaser with us (no spoilers!). Be sure to tell us about the book, so we can add it to our TBR list!

This week, my Teaser comes from a book I just finished, A Bitter Truth by Charles Todd. It’s a Bess Crawford mystery, taking place in England during World War I:

“And then out of the corner of my eye, I saw a figure in black slip down a service passage, disappearing into the deeper shadows cast by the houses on either side. There would be a stout wooden gate at the end leading into a back garden and another passage to the street beyond. Either a trap — or an escape.”

Who is it and where are they going? Makes me wonder. What’s teasing YOU this week?
