Comment from A Matter Of Words

Excellent

The sights (and smells) a detective is exposed to in the course of their work, must at times be unbearable. This is one such scenario. The descriptions and dialogue are very well written. Excellent.

A great chapter, Bev. The people in law enforcement have to face horrific scenes in their careers. You do a very good job of describing what they encounter and their reactions. Stredwick's narcissism is exposed, and local law enforcement comes out on top. This chapter contains a lot of action and your story is moving forward very quickly. I love the pace! Very well done, as usual, Bev.

Comment from Dom G Robles

Excellent

Nice detective story filled with lots of surprises. The detectives are trying to gather evidences in order to
find out what went wrong and who was the culprit. In so doing, they try to uncover and discover what were under the rugs which may reveal some hints to uncover the cause of the murder. Nice chapter and the succeeding would be more interesting to read. Congratulations.

Comment from RGstar

Excellent

This was a nice even write, Bev.

So true of yesteryear where priests and homosexuality went hand in hand.
It was widespread knowledge within circles both at churches and otherwise. It was secretive but surprisingly accepted with hush.

Things have changed rapidly throughout the world, but once in time synonymous with young boys.

A nice write, Bev, the storyline coming on fine. Good interactive dialogue between characters and subject matter spot on.

Wanna see some action heating this one up, Bev.

Best wishes,

RG

Along The Jericho Road. 'Napha Moon - Part Two.' Yes, just when you think you've seen the worst.. I found this chapter as good as all your other chapters. Well done.

Hi, Bev.
You created a bone chilling scenario, when you opened that bedroom door. I am guessing that the body in the freezer is Gertrude. I hadn't given much thought until now, as to why the victims are all elderly? Could it be because collectively they shared info that would incriminate the murderer?

Comment from JB Lynn

Excellent

Excellent work, as always. I appreciated the scene where you show us the detective having to "shut down" his emotions before he could look at the crime scene. I think, too often, it's easy to write these characters as super-tough and able-to-take-anything...but they're only human, and when you show them falter, or have a strong emotional reaction to something, it lets us relate to them a bit more. Wonderful dialogue, it sounded very conversational.

Hi, JB. Thanks so much for this superb review. You are right on track with the insights into the law enforcement people. I want to portray them the way I often see them in the non-sensationilized detective programs I watch. Most of them really care. They've been the ones to tell the families and see, not only the brutality of death but the terrible grief of those left behind. I really appreciate you taking time to read.

Warm regards, Bev
