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 is from a book I just finished, A Bitter Truth by Charles Todd. The folks at Harper Collins were kind enough to send me another Charles Todd title some time back and I fell in love. I’ve got another one, The Confession that’s nearing the top of my TBR pile.

“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 with luck, another at the bottom of that, giving onto another garden and another passage to the street beyond. Either a trap — or an escape.”

Trap or escape, which will it be? I couldn’t say for sure — you’ll have to read and find out!

What’s teasing YOU this week?
