Absolutely brilliant work. Wish I had a six star for you. Well written with a strong feel of reality in it.

It is sad to note that in today's society that it is easier to let a life go that to save it.

Look forward to seeing more of your work

hugs

excellent character description
good use of natural-sounding dialogue
I love the howling choir of calico cats : -)
You build suspense well as Dot tells of her meeting with the dead woman and of being told she had a terrible secret.

A good chapter. You have made a good job of letting the reader know the character, Dot Minski, by her body language and the way she speaks of different things. A nice cliff-hanger, making the reader wonder what 'the secret' the victim had.

This was a very interesting chapter. Your descriptions using most of the senses is good. You draw the reader right in and sitting beside the detective while the interview is underway. Loved the way you developed Dot. But no great progress was made with this old girl and the murder. lol. Well written. I enjoyed. luv jada

    Hi, Jada. Thank you for review and insights. Dot Minski offered up a very important clue, which no one will understand for some time yet. Take care, Bev

Hi writingfundimension,

I thought a six was appropriate here. I enjoyed reading it, the descriptions were excellent and the dialogue and the responses from the detective, spot on.

I've been in homes like this and met similar characters - so there was a spark of recognition!

    Hello, Patrick. I am really honored by your exceptional review. To be so honored by a writer of your caliber really lifts my spirits. Makes me want to work that much harder!

    My dad used to clean carpets for a living - he said cat smell was impossible to get out of carpeting. I don't dislike cats, just very allergic.

    Warm Regards, Bev
