• 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!)

Teaser:

Devlin looked up, his expression one of mile interest rather than the irritation Jarvis had expected. "Think back to earlier in the evening, sir," said the Viscount, pushing away from the wall. "How did you happen to be in the cabinet with the Marchioness?"

This week my teaser comes from When Gods Die by C. S. Harris. This is the second book in the ten book Sebastian St. Cyr mystery series. Here is the description from Amazon:

The young wife of an aging marquis is found murdered in the arms of the Prince Regent. Around her neck lies a necklace said to have been worn by Druid priestesses-that is, until it was lost at sea with its last owner, Sebastian St. Cyr's mother. Now Sebastian is lured into a dangerous investigation of the marchioness's death-and his mother's uncertain fate.

As he edges closer to the truth-and one murder follows another-he confronts a conspiracy that imperils those nearest him and threatens to bring down the monarchy.
