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.
My teaser today is three sentences from page 18 of Murder Being Once Done by Ruth Rendell:
Just as he was beginning to feel that he had had about enough of this as flesh and blood could stand, he came upon the Montford vault. It was the size of a small cottage and much nastier in reality than in the photograph. The cameraman had not been able to capture the mouldy smell that breathed out of the half-open door or render the peculiarly unpleasant effect of sour green moss creeping across the warrior’s face and the paws of the dead lions.
That pile of Rendell novels I have waiting doesn’t get any smaller. I have to do something about it.

Murder Being Once Done is early Rendell, and very good. As you illustrater, it’s very atmospheric.
