Teaser Tuesdays: Behold, Here's Poison

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
• 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 their TBR Lists if they like your teasers! (If you're on Goodreads, I've included a button to add the book to your list just below the teaser!)

I have been having a difficult time actually finding time to do any reading in the last few days. I am hoping to change that soon. Today's teaser is from one of Georgette Heyer's mysteries. She didn't write as many of these as she did her Regency Historical Romances, but her signature witty banter and quirky characters are still there!

"Oh dear, how very confusing it all is! If I'd ever dreamed it would all be so difficult and unpleasant I should have been the last person in the world to have wanted Gregory to die."
