Tuesday Intros/Teaser

First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros is a weekly meme hosted by Diane at Bibliophile by the Sea every Tuesday. To participate share the opening paragraph or two of a book you've decided to read based on that paragraph. Please feel free to join in, First Chapter~First Paragraph~Tuesday Intros.


I received the message first thing Monday morning. Honor Barrow needed me at an unscheduled meeting. Not what I wanted, with cold germs rolling up their sleeves in my head. Nevertheless, coming off a weekend of Sudafed, Afrin, and lemon-­honey tea, instead of finishing a report on a putrefied biker, I joined a billion others slogging uptown in rush-­hour traffic. By seven-­forty-­five, I was parked at the back of the Law Enforcement Center. The air was cool and smelled of sun-­dried leaves—­I assumed. My nose was so clogged, I couldn’t sniff out the difference between a tulip and a trash can.


Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of  Should Be Reading.

“Take a look at the section marked ‘Updated DNA Results,’ Dr. Brennan.” Curious why I’d been singled out, I did as instructed. Read a name. Felt the flutter of adrenaline hitting my gut.

I've only read the first in this series, and because it started so long ago with so many in the back-list, I gave up on it. If I could read this despite not having read all those in between, I would. She has a way with words.

I feel badly about her cold. The line "tulips and trash cans made me laugh. I like this one.

I'm not sure about this one. I'd have to read more. I hope you enjoy it.
