Your writing intrigues me. I want to learn how to
write the dialogue as well as you do. I keep coming
back and try to read each chapter. Although I like
subtle romance, your writing keeps me coming back for more.
You inspire me to write more too. Thanks. EL

This is an excellent chapter, as I'm getting so used to from you, Bev. Your dialogue is to the point and blends well with the narrative that supports it. You don't over-use dialogue tags.

Your action started slow but built to the scene change where Rick became the POV character. Since he was the chased, it helped move the plot briskly forward. The fact that he's obeying a voice alludes to his state of mind, which made him a ready subject for Father Brian.

The final cliff-hanger scene has whom the reader assumes is Father Brian, creeping out of the shadows, a soul to save.

Great chapter, Bev. No discernible spag.

I am so impressed, Bev, with how you've continually developed the plot, not to mention your great use of dialogue. I especially like the last section about Rick and the cliffhanger sentence at the very end. Can't wait to read what's next--sounds like you are starting to wind things up.
Hugs,
Connie

    Hi, Connie. Yes, I am winding this novel up in the next two chapter, I hope. Depends on the demands of my muse, of course LoL. I so appreciate this grand and very generous review. Thanks for the encouragement, my friend.

    Hugs, Bev

A fairly atmospheric read.

The emotions and interactions come across well in the upper part and the lower part is ok. It seems just a bit lack lustre, as if Rick is to dispassionate about things, but that may be misinterpreting an already developed character that I don't know the nature of.

Hi there. I am knew to your story. Came here from an advert on FS. Noticing I am way ahead and looks like I have to go right back to the start to get the run of all this. Plenty of suspense and drama looks like. No Spags which is good. Hope we meet again. Been in FS a year this month. Take care.

Looks like an intriguing story here. This is the only chapter I have read so far, but I am certainly drawn in. I like detective stories and who dun its. I have not noticed any errors or changes that could be made so that make it an excellent read.

Dear Bev - This is a fabulous post for your story. Great imagery that holds me at the edge of my seat. Partly because I am not usually this keen on this genre - and believe me you've scared me out of my wits - yet I keep coming back. That is the greatest gift I can give....your writing pulls me back time and time again.

Excellent writing, strong expressive images and emotion. Great suspenseful plot strategy as well.

Thanks for sharing.
Maureen

I missed some chapters I think. This one seems to be near the end. They wonder if Jana is not going to protect her uncle but think she won't.
