clever title - (with all the instructions given)
lots of semi-humorous dialogue :)
what was the point of the "no last name" bit?
I'm sorry, MM, but it's been a while since your last post and I just can't keep up with your plot.
and you have two loophole stories?
I hate not being able to review this properly but am sure your other fans will give you high ratings.
Your rankings are much higher than mine - I'm wayyyy down the list - so take what I say with a grain of salt.
still friends?

I apologize up front. It's hard to critique a story you've jumped in the middle of. I like the banter and the terse back and forth. It reminded me of a police show.
Well penned .
Maybe someone will go to the Penn
Bad puns are how eye roll
God bless

    I except yore a poly gee.
    Thanks for reviewing. Jump in anytime. We're here 24/7.

    Here's a pun from Chapter 3:
    Brennan tried the desk chair and, due to its missing wheel, he fell backward onto the floor. Miss Doherty rushed to his side and knelt on the floor, next to him.
    ?Are you . . . should I call for an ambulance??
    ?Chairish the thought,? he said, hoping she disliked puns.
    ?Good one, Sir.?

    Thanks for the compliments.
    I wonder which police show it reminded you of.
    I liked your pun, 'how eye roll.'

Just popping in to do a little reviewing : ) An easy chapter to read and follow, the story-line was graspable even though it is my first visit to it. Your characters came alive and felt real, I didn't see any nits, so well done!

    Thanks for popping in, Hitcher.
    Although it was all new to you, I must be on the right track, if this chapter was easy to read and follow.
    I liked it that my characters came alive and felt real.
    Hope to see you again.

You do have a very complicated story here which I might not do justice since it isn't easy to judge a novel from a single chapter or part of a chapter. But what I can say is that the writing is great, the twists sneak in and out at almost every paragraph - or so it seemed to me - and the cast of characters appear to be rather elaborate.

The dialogue flowed well and sequencing was excellent.

    Thank you very, very much for reviewing Chapter 10 of FOW Play. I think you've gotten the general gist of my murder mystery.
    Please try to keep up because I may need you to help me figure out what's going on.
    Thanks for the many compliments. Hope to see you for the next chapter.

Your story skips and jumps just offering tidbits of information. You write:" two uniformed patrolman" the error is in the single patrolman. The writing doesn't flow very well, it jumps around a lot.

    Thanks for your review.
    I fixed the patrolman. Thanks for mentioning that.
    Of course you're correct about, 'it jumps around a lot.'
    In this chapter, I felt that several small scenes were necessary to reveal the who, when, where, why and what of some of the characters.
    Thanks for the five stars.

    You're welcome. Chapters don't have to be short, you know, and paragraphs can cover just a little.

Ha, a little bit of revenge would really cheer her up. That line made me laugh, Marv. lol. You know your people.

Haaaa, the tourniquet neck tie is pretty darn funny too.

Oh my land your entire chapter is hilarious. At least to me, I hope I'm reading it correctly. lol Same hospital. Your humour is spot on.

I very much enjoyed reading your most unique odd coupled partnership of detectives.

Keep going, this is good.

Gloria

    It does my heart good to receive kind words from you.
    I don't like to overdo the humor in a piece like this, but once it enters my brain it might as well be on the page.
    Thank you for this review. Thanks for the compliments.

Hi Marv. I think this segment of your story is interesting. Dialogue is good and you've included some subtle humor, especially the part about the life support. Marilyn

    Thank you for reviewing.
    Glad you found this chapter interesting.
    Thanks for the dialogue compliment.
    Humor occurs to me. Although there are some sad and serious moments, I felt I could get away with a little humor.

Excellent write! Sterling isn't on anyone's "top ten" list, and it seems a few wouldn't mind bodily harm coming to him. He makes it to the hospital okay, and that sound like a great idea to plant the recorder in his room. They want to see how he reacts if he thinks Rose Ann is in the hospital. Nice touches of humor in this. They do have Arnold's story, but they want to see how things play out with Sterling and Rose Ann. Find work with your characters and dialogue. judi

    Thank you for a most positive review.
    It's Gertrude La Scola he's worried about. He hired her just to help with the stickup. There's much more you'll learn about her.
    Glad you liked the humor. Thanks for the compliments about the characters and dialogue.
    Thanks for everything.

Hi, Marv;

A very interesting premise you've given us here. So, the two bank employees are just waiting for all the fuss to be over, so they can go back to 'he-ing and she-ing?'

Well, I think they are about to be caught with Arnold's words,

~patty~
