This week’s teaser is from Envious Casca by Georgette Heyer – an author more known for her Regency period romantic comedies. However, this book is a murder mystery.
However that doesn’t mean that quick wits and romance are absent from this book.
“I don’t write problems,” said Royden, in rather too high a voice. “And enjoyment is the last thing I expect anyone to feel! If I’ve succeeded in making you think, I shall be satisfied.”
A noble ideal,” commented Stephen. “But you shouldn’t say it as though you thought it unattainable. Not polite.”
~ Envious Casca by Georgette Heyer
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 & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
Interesting teaser. I’ve read all of her historical romance but haven’t read her mysteries. My teasers this week are from Caged Warrior by Alan Sitomer and Midnight Crossroad by Charlaine Harris. Happy reading!

I thought the author’s name sounded familiar, but I didn’t associate it with mystery. Sounds like a good book.
