Teaser Tuesday: Books Can Be Deceiving by Jenn McKinlay

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)

Share the title and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

"You don't have to go with me," Beth said. "I can handle this on my own."

"Normally, I would agree with you," Lindsay said as she paused to sniff the cologne sample in the magazine. To citrusy; why was men's cologne always heavy on the citrus? "But given that you threatened to feed him to the sharks in front of a listening audience, I'm thinking I should be there."

This week my teaser comes from Books Can Be Deceiving by Jenn McKinlay. It is the first book in the Library Lovers series. Because I can't resist books about libraries and librarians, I added it to my stack on March 2, 2012. Here is the description:

Lindsey is getting into her groove as the director of the Briar Creek Public Library when a New York editor visits town, creating quite a buzz. Lindsey's friend Beth wants to sell the editor her children's book, but Beth's boyfriend, a famous author, gets in the way. When they go to confront him, he's found murdered-and Beth is the prime suspect. Lindsey has to act fast before they throw the book at the wrong person.
