Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by A Daily Rhythm where anyone can play along.
I love Agatha Christie, so I was more than excited when my local librarian suggested this title to me. Today’s Teaser Tuesday sentences come from Peter Helton’s novel Indelible. An Agatha Christie-like mystery with a bit of Monty Python humor to it. When laid-back painter and private detective Chris Honeysett accepts a role as tutor at the Bath Arts Academy, he had no idea that a series of peculiar events resulting in the death of one of his fellow were going to land him prime suspect in a murder investigation. Who is framing him, and why?
“Someone deliberately tried to electrocute her? Your Mrs Kroog talked me into giving a spiel on my work up there but I’ve gone right off that place. It’s creepy and crumbling and right by the forest. I bet the trees move by themselves. And I don’t like the sound of your wild man of the woods, either. Be careful up there, hon.
Don’t worry, I’m a painter. What could possibly go wrong? Anyway, the place is crawling with police. Needham is here. Already grilled me a bit. But I’m only half done, apparently.”
If you liked this teaser, add this book to your TBR list.
Sounds like a good mystery! I hope you are enjoying it. My teaser this week comes from the latest in a science fiction series I adore – Dragon in Exile by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller. Happy reading!

Agatha Christie was an amazing author, so it’s great to see there are similar books out there although I’m always wondering whether they can be equally genius! Thanks for sharing 🙂 I hope you have a great week and that I see you at ABEA!
