Teaser Tuesday: Sudden Death Sudoku

Teaser Tuesday meme courtesy of MizB at Should Be Reading. Choose two sentences at random from your current read; include the title and author for those who might want to read the book.

In Sudden Death Sudoku, a mystery novel, Katie McDonald enters a sudoku challenge game and finds problems that lead up to a murder.

"Maybe Gordon was a cheater. Or maybe he was right, and there was more jealousy than truth in the accusation, which would be a shame."

(p. 32, Sudden Death Sudoku: A Katie McDonald Mystery, 2008)

  5. Oh man -- the title alone would've gotten me! I'm like your other commenters -- I love Sudoku! So I'd have glommed right onto this book from across the room.

    Great choice! Meanwhile, my own teaser is at Bookishgal.

  7. I've read a couple of the first sudoku mysteries. They're not bad, and some include sudoku puzzles to solve.

  8. I should have known a novel with Sudoku would come out. Thanks for the concern, we are being well fed (and healthy stuff too.)

    Hope all is well, Shanna

  9. Nice teasers. I guess it does make sense that there would be a mystery series with sudoku as its theme - it's so popular right now. I've never been able to figure out the attraction - but then I've never been a numbers person. Any kind of math seems pretty deadly to me!

  11. Count me in as a sudoku lover too, although I still haven't graduated to the hard ones!

    By the way, yes, the book my teaser came from is a mystery.

  13. I used to play them on airplanes, and concentrate really hard if the planes were bouncing up and down in bad weather, just so I wouldn't get airsick! It worked!
