I must mention here that I read at my own pace and depending on my mood. Don't ask me to hurry.
Assessing the cold weight of the metal cartridges in the palm of my hand, I felt a tingle at the base of my neck.

It sounds like a mystery, to me. I am reading a mystery this week.

Now, you have me interested :)
I have this book on my shopping list. It sounds so good!
I agree with everyone. This is a great teaser :D Happy New Year! You can find my teaser at The Bookish Snob
After reading that I wish those walls could talk - I want to know what happened!
Good question! That teaser really makes me want to check out the book. I have two teasers this week. My YA teaser is from Anna and the French Kiss and my adult teaser is from The Secret History of the Pink Carnation. I guess I was in a mood for romance. Happy reading!
Even the title makes me want to check this one out...so mysterious.
Here's mine:

Hi neat teaser. Thanks for stopping by.
Excellent teaser! I'm thinking something pretty awful "went down" last night.
Good teaser. Sounds mysterious.
Great teaser! I just got this book and now I can't wait to read it.
Nice teaser and the cover is great!
Here is my teaser from Nature's Secret Messages: Hidden in Plain Sight by Elaine Wilkes (Page 3):
"We lie in the lap of immense intelligence." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Stop. Look. Listen. My kindergarten teacher taught me that. I remember carefully lining up the tips of my patent-leather shoes exactly at the edge of the curb and stopping–then carefully looking to my right and left, quiet and aware, listening for any clues. Feeling that it was safe to proceed, I'd grasp my classmate's hand, jump off the curb, and happily venture into unknown territories on the other side of the street.
Now I barely glance from side to side as I hurry on my way.
What happened? Where did that wide-open feeling of awareness go? In the rush of adulthood, it seems to vanish, but what would happen if we simply stopped, looked and listened…even as busy adults?
As a learning addict, I've hunted for insights through countless books, seminars, experts, masters and more. Eventually, I realized that my kindergarten teacher had it right from the beginning, long before I started my quest. Who knew that she was so profound?
Sounds like a murder.... that's my guess.
