Teaser Tuesday is hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading.
Grab your current read.
Let the book fall open to a random page.
Share with us two (2) ‘teaser’ sentences from that page.
The Hound of Death is a book of short stories. Today’s teaser is from the second story, The Red Signal on page 46:
And I will tell you this, if the man suffering from a delusion happened to hold his tongue about it, in all probability we should never be able to distinguish him from a normal individual. The extraordinary sanity of the insane is a most interesting subject.

Oh, I love Christie’s short stories. Well, I love her novels, too, but the stories can be so much more macabre than the novels.

Only Christie can write something like that. I’m looking forward to all of your thoughts on this book.

Very interesting! You know, I’ve never read Agatha Christie. I think that I should start with this, unless you have a better suggestion for a first-timer?

Good teaser! I really should re-read some Christie books. The ones featuring Hercule Poirot are my favorites.
Here’s my teaser, if you want to take a look. It’s a funny one 🙂 http://abookblogofonesown.blogspot.com/2009/08/chapter-12-teaser-tuesday-1882009.html

Oh, I so adore Agatha Christie! But you know, I don’t think I’ve ever read her short stories, or anything but the Miss Marple books. Now you’ve got me thinking about picking her up again, and expanding my repertoire. Great teaser!
Meanwhile, my own teaser is at Bookishgal.

Thought-provoking. I think it really might be true about mental imbalance in some cases…that if you’re just silent, nobody will be able to tell. Thanks for a great teaser!
