![]() I very much need something less troublesome to read though. ![]() I just can’t with the idea of it.Either way, I can say I finished the book. If the Devil could enjoy a good laugh, he would be laughing his ass off at that very moment-at least until I started the prayer.”“My sentiments exactly: First we bust two seemingly satanic washing machine salesmen-if that’s what they really were-and then it turns out that the aunt of the ADA assigned to the case has a washing machine with a decidedly supernatural “spin cycle”!”I have to say, he really lost me at Satanic Washing machines. It turned on with a loud click that just about scared the pants off me! I think I aged ten years in a single moment. Two quotes I enjoyed the most:“I was standing by the doorway to the kitchen, getting ready to start the Pope Leo XIII prayer, when the refrigerator abruptly decided it was time to chill the food inside.
