Teaser Tuesday: The Ice Cream Girls by Dorothy Koomson

•
This week my teaser comes from The Ice Cream Girls by Dorothy Koomson. I first read this author a few years ago when I read the oh so good My Best Friend's Girl and ever since then I have been working my way through all her books. The premise for this one feels a bit different than her other books, so it will be interesting to see how it all pans out in the end.

My teaser comes from page 48:

When all the dots are joined, when he gets to the end of the puzzle, the policeman's face gives him away. It freezes in its inquisitive expression as everything falls into place and he connects the dot of my old name with the dot of my general description with the dot of my alleged crime. And there he has it; who the woman he's just pulled over is.
Tuesday is hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading. Head on over to find out  all about it, and how to join in!

    like your teaser - my hubby was a policeman for 23 years and sometimes we would meet people and I could almost hear the cogs in his mind whirling until the penny dropped - could really relate to your teaser as I have seen police officers doing it :)

    Fantastic teaser. Here I am thinking, because of the book title, that I was about to read a fluffy, flirty teaser, but I was very pleasantly surprised. Sounds like some intrigue. If you get a chance, my teaser is here.

    This is a great teaser! I love ice cream,but this doesn't sound like this is a Sunday Afternoon outing.
