It's definitely an interesting beginning. Not sure it's for me, but I thought the story was well written. Good luck with the book.

Take care,
Russell

    Thanks for the review.

    Glad you enjoyed this part of the story.

    And, the six "you ran out of". That happens.

    Personally, I believe we should be able to give as many sixes as we want to, not be limited to just six of them a month.

A clown killer, eh? What a terrible way to go. I think just the sight of a clown, any clown, would give me a stroke... who needs a slit throat? :)

Detective Holt tossed the bills he'd extracted out of his mailbox upon arriving home that evening onto the kitchen table.

That sentence is disorganized and confusing. See if you can rearrange it or break it up into manageable parts.

Hi Brett, so BeeBo is continuing his killing spree where ever the circus takes him. So Holt is on the case, but it's debatable who is hunting who.
If I may suggest. I would have liked to see some more showing rather than telling, using our five senses. I'm waiting for what happens next. All the best. Ulla:))

You certainly have ever hooked. It looks like the detective has his work cut out for him, but he may have a clue. Looking forward to the next chapter

So, sit back. Relax. Kick your shoes off. Prop your feet up. And enjoy. - I'd nix this; it draws the readers temporarily away from the plot.

It did not matter which of the three subspecies of the two-legged variety he encountered. Man, woman, or child. - I love this. Referencing gender and age as a subspecies is neat :-)

The best part of his diabolical plot, as he saw it any way, was no one even suspected he could be the villain. - Should be anyway; one word.

He was an equal opportunity killer. - In these politically correct times, a nice description ;-)

"Miss me?" the all-too-familiar voice tauntingly asked. - Where possible, I avoid adverbs in dialogue tags. For me, this is tighter and stronger, "Miss me?" the familiar voice taunted.

So far more unanswered questions remained than what had been resolved. - Nix the what.

Something caught his eye. Had he found the missing link? - Neat cliffhanger :-)

If you want to experiment, you could rewrite this with more showing rather than telling. It might be interesting to see if you could increase the impact of this story by doing so.

Generally, this has potential to interest me, but I think it needs a spot of revision and editing to tighten it up.

This is so cool. You need to write the rest, now. I need to know who it is and how they caught him. Did he kill again? Did the child die or was he saved? You can't leave it there lol. Thank you for sharing.

Your set up is excellent.
We know the protagonist and antagonist and they are more than aware of each other.
With the killer's return to Portland, Holt is back on the hunt but he still has his sick son on his mind.
He sees a clue in a folder ... nice place to keep the reader hanging, waiting for more.
