I don't know how you keep track of all the side plots, subplots, etc. It is good you have a key to the characters as there are a lot to keep track of. Is this story going to be part 2, a follow on from the other when you publish or is it an extension of the same book? I had read chapter 7- it was a good chapter, as you pointed out! Great write as always. Faye

A rat with a microchip implant?...where do you come up with this stuff? It sounds to me like Barry is engaged in child trafficking. If that's the case, be sure to launch a torpedo up his...as I was saying, good chapter.

    Torpedo's are armed. I had a vision of them in the Bel Air Vet with Angela wanting to see how far she could push her negligent parents. A dog got a chip and she threw a fit cause her pet rat didn't have one and her guilty parents had the vet put one in to shut her up! Hahaha. Sounds good to me...

There are lots of possibilities popping up here. The chip in the rat, awesome possibilities. You would think parents so rich would put a chip in the kid. Do you have any reviewers who complain about thoughts being in italics. I have purchased a number of books in the last few years (best sellers) that do this and I like reading stories . hat do that but I have one reviewer who just can't accept it.

    Not getting much help. Hahaha. Reviews are hard to come by in the summer it seems. Glad you're enjoying. It took me awhile to come up with some clues to follow. Got to get the detectives out to sea for some real fun!

So Susan is in on the kidnapping? But surely she doesn't want them to kill her daughter! And Barry knows Angela isn't as dumb as she acts. How can anyone get out of this alive? Getting too scary!

    No, she doesn't. She isn't in the position she thinks she's in. Barry has been played by Angela from the time he met her as a seven year old. I'm too sappy to kill anyone I like. Hahaha. I'll find a way.

In today's world of high tech, kidnapping doesn't pay. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a good read.
