Tuesday again, and I'm curious to see what everyone's been reading. I finished Deadly Pleasures by Mary Firmin this past week. It's a murder mystery involving four rich yacht club women, a hunky detective, a timeshare boytoy, and L.A.'s BDSM and sex clubs. It's been described as "Sex and the City meets James Patterson." Visit us again tomorrow to read our interview with the author and enter to win her book.
My teaser is from the book's prologue:
His piggy face oozed perspiration; his eyes glittered, and his fingers, thick as sausages, plucked the cigarette from his pale, wet lips. "That's okay, baby, I just got time for a quickie."
Here's the synopsis from Mary's website:
Megan Riley has bigger things to worry about than the fact that her neighbor has just been found dead.
Her engagement has just ended, and she is once again on a quest to find Mr. Right—or at least Mr. Right Now. Tired of emotional ties and ready for a new adventure, Megan and her three best friends make a fateful decision. They hire hunky stripper Michael Harrington as their timeshare boytoy—unaware he is the prime suspect in a series of gruesome murders. Suddenly, they find themselves involved in a complicated murder investigation led by a handsome detective who is focused only on finding the twisted serial killer before he strikes again. But who will be the next to die? Megan, the hardworking real estate agent; newly divorced Kathleen; Alex, married to a wealthy businessman; or Rachel, the spurned wife of a hot Hollywood screenwriter?
Following her own investigation, Megan takes a wild ride through L.A.'s bondage parlors, hidden sex clubs, and the extravagant lifestyles of the rich and famous; soon she discovers that her quest for adventure has abruptly transformed into a dangerous game of life and death.
Eww! That guy does not sound appealing.

DeleteWow! From the book's description I would never have guessed the teaser came from Deadly Pleasures!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my TEASER!
Ohh very cool description... just from that it makes me dislike the character... thanks for visiting mine:)
ReplyDeleteMary did a great job of making us dislike this guy, didn't she? He's nasty.
DeleteGreat teaser, I'm already grossed out. Sex and the City meets James Patterson. Why I do think I'll have to look into this book.
ReplyDeleteThe sounds like a great book. I loved the blurb, but I don't think he sounds like the kind of guy I'd like to have a quickie with!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog.
Definitely NOT my kind of guy!
DeleteThat teaser made me shudder - I'm terribly visual about things like that! Also, thanks for visiting Read@UTS!

I'm not at all surprised by everyone's reaction to today's teaser. That guy is yucky.
DeleteEw ew ew!
ReplyDeleteI am intrigued by the Sex in the City meets James Patterson description! Especially mixed in with the rest of the info.
Thanks for stopping by LIO!
This one sounds very fascinating....sexy and suspenseful makes a good combination.
ReplyDeleteI don't much like that character in the teaser...lol. I can almost see (and smell) him!
Thanks for sharing...and here's MY TUESDAY MEMES POST
I predict that the detective is going to come out well in the end--not just in solving the case! :-) Love, love, love well-written murder and mayhem with memorable characters.
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking out my murder in Stockholm teaser at Summit Musings
The police detective is a cool, good-looking guy... and that's all I'm going to tell you. You'll have to read the book to find out more.
DeleteI hope you'll come back tomorrow (Wednesday) for our interview with Mary Firmin.
Not a nice guy.

Great teaser and I'm looking forward to the interview!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sandra. It was fun doing the interview with Mary.
DeleteHi Sandra,
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser lines, but totally gross. He sounds like a total slimeball, being propositioned by someone like him just doesn't bear thinking about UGH!
I am not sure which was most steamy though, your teaser lines, the book synopsis, or that totally erotic cover!!
I hope that you enjoy this one, don't think I shall be joining you in reading it, even if it is a mystery, which is my favourite genre.
Yvonne
Yvonne, we see so many books among the Teaser Tuesday postings and not all of them appeal to all of us. But it's fun seeing what people are reading, isn't it?
DeleteThis sounds really good. I'm adding it to my Nook wishlist.

Deletehmm sounds interesting. Thanks for stopping by my teaser!
