A very good set-up for a story. I like your character development from the start, and the background story.
One woman, a detective, the other a controlled wife who has deep religious conventions pressed on her by her mother.

Good story,
Rhonda

    It is an interesting, complicated story, i actually never know which way it is going until I start to write. You treat me with so much respect. Thank you.

Just because the words are said does not mean the promise is going to be fulfilled.

"Mary" seems prepared for the worst case scenario and is ready to handle whatever comes her way when "William" calls.

Well written story with plenty of high action.

Another good chapter for your story. Again very realistic the characters come to life for me. I can picture this drama of life unfolding around the church and its' members. The police detective trying to sort it all out.

Delaney isn't buying any of it. He see's
it for what it is, a set-up. A forecast
of things to come.Only two buttons. Does
that mean the slaughter is over?
Mary is ready for William. She has gained
some self confidence in the months they
have been separated. Looking forward to more.
xx Nancy

    Probably a few more deaths, or attempts? Mary is changing. She is definitely complicated. Thank you so much, as always

I think this is a good chapter, Judy. I like the way you developed who Mary is a little more for us with her childhood background. You writing is clear and fluid. I see no errors

    Thank you so much. Mary is definitely a complicated character. In real life we all are. I so appreciate your time.

Hi there,

It would be advantageous to include a previously / background information or story so far at the beginning of the piece so as readers know where they are. This can also help draw in new potential readers as well.

It may be an idea to look at different ways of differentiating thought from the narrative, perhaps using italics or ' ' . I see later that you did this but not in the opening section. It is better to stick with one form.

"The case was pretty cut and dry - this paragraph is all dialogue but it is unclear who is talking as there are no speech tags.

all consuming, loving and passionate. . - need to delete the extra spaces and extra full stop from the end.

All the best
GMG

The muse is with you Judy. It is fascinating to take this journey with you, watching as your story develops and unfolds. Each chapter so well written and adding to the last.

I wrote a novella last year in a similar way. I had to keep writing to see what happened next. It was nowhere as good as this. It touched upon female sexuality also. It will never seen the light of day but it was good practice for me as a Newby writer.

I look forward to the next xx

    We still do have a hard time with the fact that women also enjoy sex. I think believing in the Virgin Myth as I call it, gets so many into trouble. It is so great to have you as a loyal fan.

Wow! Superb chapter.
This brings back many memories of my life. It's been a long time since I've ever been sucked in when reading a script, well you definitely did that. Great peace of work

I'm looking forward to reading more of this book. You are very inspiring to this immature happy belated Mother's Day as I can see you did a fabulous job on both, with your writings and your children God bless you

    Thank you so much, So many of us hid the fact that we were women who wanted sex, but believed in being pure. Sadly, it makes me a little angry. I have no idea where I am going with this story. If you can tell me your life. It might help.
