Tuesday Intro/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.


Part 1, Long-Leggedy Beasties
The fastest route from Logan Airport to downtown Boston is a mile-long tunnel called the Sumner. Dark, damp, and low ceilinged, the Sumner feels as though it were built a hundred years ago, which it very nearly was. And on Friday, April 24, a warm spring evening, a Boston University freshman ran out of gas halfway through the tunnel, reducing rush-hour traffic to just one slow-moving lane, instead of the usual two. Katie Priddy, who has never been to Boston and had no idea she would wind up in a tunnel under Boston Harbor, sat in the back of a stopped taxicab and began to panic.

Her Every Fear by Peter Swanson

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by Ambrosia of The Purple Booker


We are investigating a suspicious death in the apartment next to yours. We don't have a proper identification yet on the body


Have you read this book?

Oh, I love the sound of this one! Boston is one of my favorite settings...and I hate stalled traffic, but in a tunnel? Very scary.

Thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.

I really want to read this! Heck, I want to read anything by him. I have a couple of his books on my shelf to get to, including this one. I've heard such good things about his writing. Thank you for sharing, Nise'!

I'm not familiar with this book, but the opening is powerful. I'd definitely keep reading!

I've read it Nise and really enjoyed it and unusually for me I was quite spooked by it too. I have to admit I slightly preferred his previous novel A Kind Worth Killing though...

I've been wanting to read this author. I like the writing in that first paragraph so I need to go see if this one is available at the library. I'm glad you shared this.

This sounds good and the author's name seems familiar -- off to check it out now.

Been there. We have to use the bayway to cross the bay and it can get backed up for hours. Yuck! I'm trying to figure out why they don't know who is dead. Is it a stranger in the apartment?

Yvonne said...

Sounds exactly like something I would like.
