Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB at Books And A Beat.
My Teaser for this week is from
The Madonna Of Notre Dame
by Alexis Ragougneau
Translated by Katherine Gregor
Genre: Mystery
My teaser from page 48 in the paperback.
“You know, if I don’t have my little priest to talk to, I bottle up my anger and start hitting my pals in the cafeteria. Over nothing. Over a piece of bread. Just to kill time. It’s the survival of the fittest, and the fittest isn’t always the most clever one or, as you’d say, the most Christian.”

Read on if you want to know more.
Synopsis
Fifty thousand believers and photo-hungry tourists jam into Notre Dame Cathedral on August 15 to celebrate the Feast of the Assumption. The next morning, a stunningly beautiful young woman clothed all in white kneels at prayer in a cathedral side chapel. But when an American tourist accidentally bumps against her, her body collapses. She has been murdered: the autopsy reveals disturbing details. Police investigators and priests search for the killer as they discover other truths about guilt and redemption in this soaring Paris refuge for the lost, the damned, and the saved. The suspect is a disturbed young man obsessed with the Virgin Mary who spends his days hallucinating in front of a Madonna. But someone else knows the true killer of the white-clad daughter of Algerian immigrants. This thrilling novel illuminates shadowy corners of the world’s most famous cathedral, shedding light on good and evil with suspense, compassion and wry humor.

This one looks great fun… It’s been a while since I read anything set in Paris. Are you enjoying it? My TT this week isn’t exactly fun, but I’m finding it a gripping read…

It’s really good so far. And such great atmosphere.
Sounds intriguing. My teaser this week comes from Curious Minds by Janet Evanovich and Phoef Sutton. Happy reading!
Hope it’s a good one. I am not real keen on the cover so I would have probably passed it on, so look forward to finding out if I shouldn’t. 🙂
the cover follows the style of all the covers at New Vessel Press, but I have read several of their books, and have never been disappointed so far
Good teasers. And I like the synopsis. Putting it on my TBR. Thanks for sharing it!
It’s not a long read and I plan to finish it this weekend. Hopefully while sitting out by the pool:)
I’m absolutely in love with this teaser, I might just add it to my TBR list later. Here’s mine https://keeanareads.wordpress.com/2016/08/16/teaser-tuesday-august-16-2016/

Yours sounds great too!
I think I’d enjoy this book, I hope you do!
I’m just a short ways into it, but plan to read the whole book this weekend.
Sounds so intense! Great cover, too. Thanks for sharing, and here’s mine: “LEAVE ME”
The title and cover intrigued me before I read the exciting synopsis.
I would think clever would help. though.
In his situation, anything might:)
This book does sound like it is quite thrilling! I noticed that it has been translated, so that also adds an element of intrigue for me. I hope that you enjoy this one! 🙂
I’ve read a few translated books and all of them were good. This sounds like quite a mystery.
Sounds pretty good! Hope you are enjoying it!
Thanks, Denise. I am!
Sounds extremely intriguing! Hope you’re enjoying the book(:
It’s a good one:)
Didn’t have a chance to do TT this week. Will be back next week. This does sound like a good one.
