We had been tapping Andrew's phones for a week now, with results pathetic enough that O'Kelly was beginning to emit ominous, volcanic grumbling noises. During the day Andrews made large numbers of snappy, testosterone-flavored calls on his mobile; in the evenings he ordered over-priced "gourmet" food — "takeaway with notions," Sam called it, disapprovingly. Once he rang one of those sex chat lines you see advertised on late-night TV; he liked to be spanked, apparently, and "Redden my arse, Celestine" had instantly become a squad catchphrase. (pg. 300, In the Woods by Tana French) I tend to like mysteries in the first place, but the writing style is truly making this one stand out for me.

"The man is very meticulous, too. Almost surgical in his precision. Not really a ‘slasher’ at all. Trying to understand how he thinks and what he feels about women could lead us to identify him." His partner all but rolled his eyes at the idea of plumbing the depths of a killer's mind. "Witnesses, Babbitt. I keep telling you."

Holdsworth glanced down at the book on the table and turned the page. Here was the wager that had just been recorded: The Revd Mr Miskin wagers Mr Crowley two bottles of wine that the ghost will not appear again before the end of term. ‘So the college has a ghost?’ he said. ‘No, sir, we merely have a foolish story.’ Richardson closed the book and handed it to the servant. ‘The undergraduates make up tales to frighten each other.’ (Pg. 74, ARC, The Anatomy of Ghosts by Andrew Taylor) Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.

It is not faith that saves, but faith in Jesus Christ. ... It is not, strictly speaking, even faith in Christ that saves, but Christ that saves through faith. The saving power resides exclusively, not in the act of faith or the attitude of faith or in the nature of faith, but in the object of faith.

No one gave us a second glance when we walked in. The murders of Oliver and Sylvie Renard had bumped Simon and me from the front page of the papers. But I'd put on the red horn-rimmed glasses and piled my still-damp hair under one of Claire Samuelson's tweed hats just in case. Simon wore a black woolen scarf wrapped around his neck, partially obscurig the lower half of this face. "What makes you so sure he's going to show up?"

CeeCee sat down across the table from Tim. It was an incongruous scene, she thought. Formal dining room, crystal chandelier, heavy gold jacquard draperies that  must have cost a fortune, eating pizza on paper plates, planning a kidnapping. (13%, The Secret Life of CeeCee Wilkes by Diane Chamberlain) I'm not to this point in the book yet, but I can still picture the scene. Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.
