Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by MizB of Books and a Beat If you want to join in grab your current read, flick to a random page, select two sentences (without spoilers) and share them in a blog post or in the comments of Books and a Beat.
This week my teaser comes from His Bloody Project by Graeme Macrae Burnet. I spotted this on another blog and also on the GoodReads Choice awards and thought I’d give it a try. It’s not my usual type of read (I’m not a fan of historical fiction) but enjoying it so far.

Archibald Ross replied that for folk like us there was no other ship than the hard ship. I was greatly impressed with this reply and thought my new friend the cleverest person I had ever met.

Blurb
A brutal triple murder in a remote northwestern crofting community in 1869 leads to the arrest of a young man by the name of Roderick Macrae. There’s no question that Macrae is guilty, but the police and courts must uncover what drove him to murder the local village constable.
And who were the other two victims? Ultimately, Macrae’s fate hinges on one key question: is he insane?
Happy reading everyone.

Sounds interesting. It’s not the sort of book I would usually pick up either. My teaser this week is from Dragonheart by Todd McCaffrey. Happy reading!

I was tempted by Cleo’s review and the fact that it’s Scottish history which I do find fascinating. I am really enjoying so far

I’m the same. This actually wasn’t on my tbr but I spotted it on Kindle unlimited and was looking for something different from my usual reads so ditched the tbr and started this instead 🙂
