Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to
My Teaser this week is from The Murder of Harriet Krohn by Karin Fossum
Charlo Torp has problems.
He’s grieving for his late wife, he’s lost his job, and gambling debts have alienated him from his teenage daughter. Desperate, his solution is to rob an elderly woman of her money and silverware. But Harriet Krohn fights back, and Charlo loses control.
Wracked with guilt, Charlo attempts to rebuild his life. But the police are catching up with him, and Inspector Konrad Sejer has never lost a case yet.
Told through the eyes of a killer, The Murder of Harriet Krohn poses the question: how far would you go to turn your life around, and could you live with yourself afterwards?
My Teaser
He gazes up at the large H&M posters. They cover the front of the block on his right. How strange, he thins, that the buxom girl in the lacy underwear is naked on a bleak evening like this. She looks relaxed in spite of it all, though he is wet and chilled, but this is hardly something that troubles him.

Told through the eyes of the killer…that sounds really interesting! I’ll keep an eye out for your review.

You know I love the creepy stuff and you can’t get creepier than being inside the head of a murderer.

I have to admit this is my first from this author and it took me a while to get into it but now I’m flying through.. It isn’t often a whole story is told from the murderer’s perspective.

Huh, sounds a bit like Crime and Punishment! Maybe he’s not as wracked guilt as Raskolnikov, but it’s an interesting set up! Great teaser!
