Teaser Tuesday : "Name Dropping"

We're approaching the season to get together that stack of park and beach reads. You know, those books you want to drag with you for afternoons in the park or lazy days lying in the sun on the sand or at the pool.

So, encouraged by Audrey over at Audrey's Country Crafts, and since I seem to be reading at least a book a week these days, I'm participating in Teaser Tuesday. TT is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. This is my first week. Hope you find it of some interest.

Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

* Grab your current read.

* Open to a random page.

* Share two (2) "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page.

**BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS ! (Make sure what you share doesn't give too much away ! You don't want to ruin the book for others !)

**Share the title and author, too, so that other Teaser Tuesday participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teasers !

MY TEASERS:

"It was not simply that it was a shock; it was that it was the height of irony. After I had received phone calls and letters and flowers that were meant for the other Nancy Stern, the murder, it turned out, was meant for me."

pg. 224, Name Dropping, Jane Heller
