  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!

My Teaser:
  She was walking west, probably to grab a bite of lunch.  He put his van in gear and slowly followed.  A little ether on a handkerchief and the element of surprise would do the job nicely.

I am in Minneapolis, Minnesota with Detective Olivia Sutherland as she tries to track down a murderer or murderers that could also tie in to an arsonist. I am also eavesdropping into her personal life.

Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about the war books
With yesterday being Anzac Day, I thought I’d ask a theme question this week. Are you a reader of war books? And if so, do you have any favourites?
  Not sure if this counts but the only “war book” that I read was The Diary of Anne Frank, which I read many years ago while in elementary school but it touched me so deeply that I still can recall the images that I created from reading the book.  It is definitely one of my all time favorites reads of my lifetime.
