“She [Rhapsody] turned down the High Street, staring into the ground to keep the rain off her face so she wouldn´t have noticed the hearse if it hadn´t passed her exactly when she was on the point of crossing the road. She saw it slow down outside a thatched bungalow near the George & Deacon on the corner.
She ought to feel pity for the poor deceased, but her first thought was ´bother, now they will all say that the Devil claimed another arrow!´”
(Eh, you didn´t notice that I cheated and gave you three, did you?)
Two-Sentence Tuesday is hosted by Women of Mystery.
Dorte - This is great.! I'm so glad you quoted from The Halloween Murderer as I'm all excited about that book. I can't wait to read the whole thing :-).
SvarSletSounds great. I wouldn't have told on you if you had shared two or three chapters with us. :)

Thoughts in Progress
Nice! I'm happy to have gotten a bonus sentence.
SvarSletI'm actually a sucker for this kind of theme-y mystery.
SvarSletA wonderful taster, thanks for teasing us.
SvarSletMargot: and this is one of the days when I need my readers´ enthusiasm. Right now I am progressing backwards. But life will be better tomorrow!
SvarSletMason & Beth: in fact, I am able to count to three, but what is the point of a teaser if there is not a bit of drama to it.
Clare: and I am really beginning to enjoy writing them.
Tracy: don´t mention it. I like teasing people!
Ooohhh, love it.
SvarSletI'm with Tracy - a wonderful teaser! Have you sent off "The Cosy Knave" to any publishers yet? I'm ready for its US release!
SvarSlet:)
Leah: thank you, and nice to meet you. I´ll come and read your two sentences later this week (having a horrible work week).
SvarSletKelly: not yet, but I have begun sweating over that query. It scares me more than writing the actual book.
