You have a very good imagination, Bev. A lot is happening in these chapters. There's no way anyone could fall asleep while reading this story. It keeps the reader wanting to read more.

No need to thank me. It is by reading such excellent writing like this that we all learn how to craft our work better. You have my vote on this one.

Comment from olliebuster
Terrific. This is what good novels are made of. The chapters are distinct, one set of events leading nicely into the other.The characters are few and not mingling. The story is set so that a follow up is easy to fit in. It has one wondering what twist comes next. A good read. Olliebuster

Comment from Drew Delaney
Wow! I am so impressed with your writing. You seem to have a great story going on here. I have not come across anything to change since I have not read any other chapters. This is a good contender in the contest.

Comment from Cin
Intriguing. The chapter builds suspense nicely. I like the touch of supernatural that intertwines the crime story. Looking forward to reading more.

Comment from Jay Squires
Whoa! That is one powerful chapter, Bev. You mixed reality with the fantastic in the first scene and did it remarkably well.
I'm so happy you caught me early enough to give you the 6-er this deserves.

Comment from Giddy Nielsen-Sweep
Bev, this is powerful writing and extremely engaging. I haven't been following the story, just dropped in to read something so I will follow more of the story and at least catch the ending. Great stuff, Giddy

Comment from Selina Stambi
Hello, my friend Bev,
I'm happy to add my six to the string you must have got by now!
What a breathless edge-of-the-seat piece this is!
Fabulous, my dear.

Comment from RGstar
Once again, superb routines writing. One thing, Bev.
I don't know if it is American English, but I might have written " the shovel's blade" using a possessive s or if not, taking blade away all together. It just stuck out at me in reference to "shovel blade"
I like the sense of smell, in reference to Armani"
Your eerie scenes , though there was only really one in this chapter, leaves nothing to be desired - it gets me all the time. Terrific writing.
Well, Bev, another one out of the way.
Bravo. Sorry for the late response, have not been too well.

Comment from Victoria K
I really enjoyed reading your chapter, and this comes as quite a surprise to me, since I usually avoid this subject matter. I am a self professed "scaredy cat" so I wasn't sure what to expect!
You grabbed my attention immediately, and I remained riveted until the last word.
One minor thing: "It's absence has me worried." doesn't need the possessive apostrophe.
Very well done; I may have to read the next one...
