Teaser Tuesday - The Laughter of Dead Kings

Today is Teaser Tuesday. Teaser Tuesdays are hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading.

It asks us to:

(1) Grab our current reads.

(2) Let the book fall open to a random page.

(3) Share two (or three) teaser sentences from that page somewhere between lines 7 and 12 (avoiding spoilers).
We're also supposed to share the book title and author so others can find the book themselves.

So, here's my teaser for today from The Laughter of Dead Kings by Elizabeth Peters (one of her Vicky Bliss mysteries). I'm reading this for the RIP V challenge (although I'm way behind where I thought I would be at this point of the month).
"What do you think, Schmidt?"..."I think," said Schmidt, "that you are deceitful and dangerous. And even more clever than I had realized. At least you had the sense to let us in on this instead of going alone to reconnoiter."

  2. Great teaser! I love Elizabeth Peters - I actually called our homeschool Peabody Academy when I only had girls in the hopes they would be like her Amelia Peabody. ;-) I've enjoyed the Vicky Bliss series too, but not quiiite as much.

  3. I'm the opposite -- love the Vicky Bliss books, but kind of lost with the Peabody books. Think that's because I tried to start in the middle of the series, though.
