The clinic area at the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center is shaped somewhat like a ship with a four-story atrium, and sound echoes there. So you can imagine how many people were perplexed by the peals of laughter wafting up from the basement level outside the endocrine clinic one Monday at 08:30 hours (or 8:30 a.m. to civilians), and later from the My Health eVet kiosk in the Pharmacy area on the first floor, as I reveled in the exploits of “Detective Smirky Pants” and “Shotgun,” as they try to track down the killer.  Especially when they accidentally call the groom “Gusher” to his face. Shelby privately calls him that because of the way he gushes all over the bride. It was extremely difficult to put down I Do…Or Die—first when the docs called me, and then to help veterans who had questions about the My Health eVet program, or who wanted to sign up for it, and finally when I finished it. [“Aw me-ann! Is it done already?”] I may even have sold a few copies to people who asked what I was laughing at.If you want a book with a heroine who has a wonderfully snarky sense of humor that makes you laugh so loudly you don’t dare read it in public (or after ten p.m. if you live in a Seniors building with designated quiet hours), by all means, grab I Do…Or Die.  I fervently hope we’ll see more of Shot…, uh, Shelby and Chip…, uh, Ryan.  Ya gotta read the book.
