This week's teaser comes from my current read, The Travel Writer- a mystery by Jeff Soloway. I am reading the Kindle edition which was released June 3, 2014 by Alibi.

Travel writer Jacob Smalls has just accepted from his ex-lover Pilar Rojas a 2 weeks all expenses paid trip to the hotel where she is PR agent in exchange for him to write a positive piece on the hotel and poke around casually about Hilary Pearson's disappearance. 

"If I was to learn anything in Bolivia about Hilary Pearson's disappearance, I needed first to gather as much information as I could in New York, from those who knew Hilary best. I gave an extra shake of food to my pet turtle for good luck, and then flicked my computer to life and began my research in the modern style: in my underwear, online." Location 149

Advance praise for the novel:

“Travel doesn’t  just broaden the mind; it can also get you killed. Sassy, cynical Jacob Smalls is an ideal guide for journeying into unknown territories.”—Christopher Fowler, author of the Peculiar Crimes Unit Mystery series

So far I've been enjoying the book. It's been kind of quirky and I hope that continues.
