Teaser Tuesday: The God of the Hive by Laurie R. King

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do 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 and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

I am just getting ready to begin The God of the Hive by Laurie R. King. I enjoy this mystery series about the exploits of a retired Sherlock Holmes and his much younger wife Mary Russell. I got this book back in April and wanted to save it until I had time to devote to it. It got buried in the TBR stack and just resurfaced.

I felt as if someone fleeing Vesuvius with me had stopped to fret about the carpets. The obituary had buried any lesser consideration: To my mind, the Brothers case was in a box and temporarily closed away. Who would worry about a mere killer when the world was being engulfed?

This comes from page 150 and I have no idea what is going on. I need to start this book now to find out.


What is sitting next to you?
