Teaser Tuesday
I am behind -- on everything and tonight I have just emerged from the "safe room" aka the bathroom as we watch tornadoes plague North Texas. Nothing quite like hearing hail pound the roof and tornado sirens while you sit in the bathtub with the computer watching doppler weather. Such an exciting Tuesday evening.
So, it is time for another Tuesday Teaser and I think you will enjoy this one. It is from "Aunt Dimity's Death" by Nancy Atherton. This is a nice little mystery series which I began in the middle of the series -- just my style. So, after I finished the first book that I read I decided to start the series with the first book. It is a page turner -- sort of a grown up Nancy Drew -- and I am enjoying it immensely. Let's see if my teaser can get you to take a look at the series.
"There was no way Bill could have known about Reginald. Not even Meg knew about Reginald. Having a stuffed bunny as a confidant isn't something a thirty-year-old woman readily admits to. But someone had known about him. Someone who needed to get my attention. I put the shoebox back into the wardrobe and gently closed the door. I descended the staircase in slow motion, stopped at the doorway of the study, and peeked in. The fire was snapping, the rain was drumming, a book of some sort was lying on the ottoman, and Reginald was sitting beside it. He had moved."
Okie doke -- nothing like a little mystery there -- it is good -- check it out.

I've heard of this series, but haven't looked at any of the books yet. A "grown up Nancy Drew" sounds like something I really need to get into.
I didn't realize you guys were having such bad weather tonight. Just stay in that bathroom until everything blows over. And give some serious thought to moving OUT of tornado alley.
The books are really good -- couldn't find the first one for my nook so I ordered a pkg. of 5 of the series off ebay then found the first one at B&N in hard copy! Oh well. I think you would enjoy these -- I have and I don't usually read mysteries.
I was a bit upset last night to walk out on my patio, look up and see two donut shaped clouds swirling counter clockwise -- right next to each other. Nothing was mentioned on the news coverage but the sirens were going off at the Naval Air Station across the street. We stood there and watched them swirl for a while and then just fall apart. I was really worried about the kids -- one twister that had already done damage was going right over Brianna but it shifted it's course by a few blocks and missed her but it continued over Brandon but Teresa said nothing happened -- just lots of hail. Hopefully today will be quieter.
Oh, and I have been researching storm shelters.
