It took me "61 Hours" to find all the books I've read this year. Then I heard "A Haunting Refrain" that spoke to me. Unfortunately, it was my deceased ex-husband, still bragging about his "Big Grabowski". I wanted to call :The Dogs of Rome" to shut him up, but I wasn't in Rome. I was "Shaken" but I left him a message. "Watch Me Die!" Not that he would, but you can't beat a good book title.
