Hi there,

So the killer has a ringside seat this time around for the police investigating... risky! lol

Grabbing the 6 pack he heads towards the shed. - probably better to spell out six here.

Our Emma is twenty-two with light brown hair. - need closing speech marks here.

Since she stabs her victims' thirty-three times - no apostrophe needed for victims here.

the whelps and bruises he left - welts?

Since you, idiots don't have an inkling - unnecessary comma here.

"You check with forensics, and I'll keep working on the list of Neons. - need closing speech marks here.

I'm here to see Miss. Webb," - you don't need the . after Miss.

    Thank you so much for your always helpful review. I had my moment of glory and then it's gone.I know I can do it again. Please don't hold your breath because it might be awhile.
    She's getting more confident, braver like most serial killers do towards the end.
    Thanks again for all your help and support it means a lot to me.

This is the 1st chapter I have read but it is quite a gripping tale. I like the title. Actually 'bittersweet' is my very favorite word-it's so descriptive. Sometimes I think revenge is my second favorite as I like writing about it too!

    Thank you for such a great review, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Like you most of my stories is about someone getting revenge. Serial killers getting justice for what was done to them in the past.
    Thank you again for such a nice review, take care.

"I'm not Rachel. I'm her older, evil version <-- So it is NOT Rachel. A sister?

What is the significance of 33? I guess you aren't telling us that. Or maybe I just missed it?

This story is really good, even though it has a lot of blood and gore. Those guys deserve what she does to them, so I'm cheering for the killer to get away with it and live happily ever after. Will you please do that for me? :)

    Thank you so much for such a fantastic review, I'm honored and very grateful. No, it's not Rachel. Jeanie, Rachel's real mom only took care of Rachel and her cousin Emma. Max her real dad has two girls, but they're both younger. So it can't be an older sister.
    I guess I do kind of make my serial killers into vigilantes. I'll see what I can do about the end.
    Thank you again for all your support it means the world to me, take care.

    I didn't say what the 33 means yet but I will.

This is another very suspenseful great chapter, Misty. I enjoyed it and can't wait for the next part of the story. I wonder what will happen to Kirk...

One little problem which seems recurring with you: your and you're.
Try this aide-memoire:
Your = possessive determiner, "belonging to you"
You're = to be verb, "you are"

Hope that helps.

She suddenly recalls his brawny physic(physique- but maybe in American you spell it like you did?) and his violent reputation.

"I'm not Rachel. I'm her older, evil version, you're(your) worst nightmare.

    Thank you for your kind review and all your help. Your right on the spelling and your, you're problem. I'll keep the advice in mind.
    Remember I said Cannon in D is my fav. I like the slower 3 violin version the best. The faster tempo seems too rushed, with all the different melodies going on. The slower version soothes me, somehow. Another one I adore almost as much is Nutcracker. It has such a fun, uplifting beat. Problem is I get into both so much no writing gets done.
    Thanks again for all your help support and friendship, they mean the world to me

Huh, picking up keys at the crime scene, wouldn't that be like disturbing evidence? Maybe he just put them in his pocket instinctively, recognizing something familiar about them? Well, you've left me guessing, just like a good chapter should. :-)

    Thank you for your great review. Yes, picking up keys, putting them in your pocket could be a job ender or at least a harsh reprimand. Kirk thought they were his at the time. He's lucky no one found out and evidence wasn't lost. Not all of it anyhow.
    Thank you again for such a kind review and all your support, hope all is well, take care.

I was wondering how many rapists there were? So our murdrerer is still carrying on her merry way, now she's leaving more, 33 times stabbing must be significant, somehow people who have violated or seek revenge, are quite often, never satisfied, their hatred is never really assuaged. Well done, my friend, they'll still narrow the gap, it's almost like she's mocking the cops, blessings, Roy
Typo : His brawny (physic) physique?

    Thank you for your great review and all your support. There are a few more left. Question is, will she get to all of them? Your right revenge has immediate but short-lived gratification. Her healing has to start within. She is mocking the cops because she thinks they're just a bunch of morons who'll never catch her. This superior, grandeur feeling, coupled with the boost in confidence is what gets a lot of serial killers in the end.
    Thank you again for all your help, support and kind words, they mean a lot to me, take care.

    Yes, I think murderers can be megalomaniacs, who, like Hitler, trip over their egos.
reply by the author on 31-Jan-2018
    I'm sure you can find dominating, narcissistic behavior in most of the serial killers to some degree. Although they have all of this going on in their head, they're still able to fit into society, look, acting like an average Joe. Well most, not all.

    They're very clever..

Hello Mistydawn
I see you have Jerry and Joe still in a pile of clues and not knowing what they all mean.

There is this part that I believe that the defectives should look into why- (as you wrote)
Since she stabs her victims' thirty-three times, I figure that number has some significance.

    Thank you so much for such a fantastic review. Six stars, wow I'm honored. I hope you know that I'm doing my best to keep you guessing, so you'll be surprised at the end. It's been a fun challenge.
    Thank you so much for your wonderful review and all of your support, they mean a lot to me, take care.
    I saw a cute little couple walk arm in arm at the doctor's office yesterday. You could tell they adored each other by the way the acted. I thought to myself I bet Gert and Stan are like that. Take care.
