Glad you were not disappointed.
Comment from RJFunston
Good evening,
This is a very interesting story, you managed to capture my attention from the very beginning and it didn't stop. Your opening was perfect, a great way to seize the readers curiosity and hold it. You continued forward and went it came to the ending, you nailed it. Very nicely written.
Have a good one,
Robert

Comment from donaldww
This is a fun story. Are you going to add and episode for whey she visits?
I found some SPAGs for you to look at.
last week[']s episode
she [will] shed some light on this, so I [can] be myself again.- change to would, could
human nature gone [array]. - astray
"It's a Flushing thing[,]" [m]y husband said.
He winked at his brother, who nodded. Together they shared a secret laugh that was privy to only the two of them.
(He winked at his brother, who nodded and shared a secret laugh.)
Apparently[,] my late mother-in-law
I rose and said[,] "We are having dessert in an hour."
(I excused myself. "We are having dessert in an hour." I went . . .)
police arrived, [h]e stated that
Cheers,

Comment from Carole Rosa
Joann, This is a good fiction story, but something similar happened to me in real life. I was cleared of it, but people are desperate when they think of hurting themselves just to get even with another person. Joann, Your story is well written and exciting. Carole

Comment from christianpowers
Hi again Joann,
This is great suspense. You've built up the tension like a true master. Hitchcock would be proud.
Here's a few edits... (I left out my objections to the 'fury' of vague and impostent modifiers in the second sentence.)
>>> Here I almost peed.<<< This is weird. I think it needs to be qualified somehow.. Maybe 'Here I overcame the startled response of peeing in my pants.' That's not very good either, but I think it's better. I almost peed seemed too abrupt. What are you an excited puppy? lol
>>> I chewed my nails and sat wondered when was the last time I saw her. <<< 'sat' not needed, and get rid of 'was'. 'wondered when I saw her last.' is fine.
>>> I rose and said."We are having...<<< 'rose' is awkward. Try 'stood'. It's much more common, and less distracting.
>>> and hide all of the knives.<<< get rid of 'of'. The sentence has more impact without it.
Great job. I'll read the next when it's out.
Christian

You read two before one, try to get it , while its still worth a few cents.Thanks for the review

Nope, I read them in order. Take a look. I've already reviewed the first part. And I just realized you ended it. I don't think it's over. You've never satisfied the mystery here.

Hey you are right, ...
Comment from alexisleech
I do hope there's going to be more! As you say, there's two sides to every story. This all read beautifully, but I think there's something missing in this sentence 'As I made my way back into the kitchen to brew a fresh pot of coffee for dessert.' I think you have to tell the reader what she was doing 'as' she made her way to the kitchen.
