Hi Barbara! Since we're coming in late to read this book, it was important to start at the beginning. Also read the intro you posted. This is AWESOME! The dialogue flows so naturally, and you've seamlessly added details/descriptions, too. You bring the reader right into the scene! Such a great start to this novel and we know you've written many more chapters. Will read them as time permits.
God Bless,
Bill & Cathy

Hi Barbara, I'm enjoying the beginning of your story and getting to know the characters. I did want to mention to you that in this chapter, you have started the last two paragraphs with the same sentence... effectively having the taxt pull up twice. You may want to fix that! :)

HI Barbara. Nice write. I love that it is essentially dialogue driven and particularly like the lack of speech tags. I am also a fan of the italic device to indicate thought. I must seek out the prologue and bring myself up to speed. Cheers - DJ

Thank you for dropping by, This novel isn't about the Jewish issue. It was my previous one, but I promise your input is always welcome.

Good afternoon, Barbara
Enjoyed the post. Virtual six. I can see the unavoidable confrontation between Mac and and Logan simply because he thinks she's not up to the task. Being a Major, Logan is accustomed to giving orders, not following them. The chauvinistic remark that he could see Mac's father hiring her as a receptionist, but not P.I. speaks volumes on his opinion regarding women as equals. ''Looking forward to how their develops.
Take care and stay safe,
Ray

Comment from sandragee
When the impatient and condescending Logan Nelson says "I've really made an ass of myself, haven't I?", the cool, calm Mac Morgan doesn't dispute the comment. She tells him that when she has information, she will call his dad. His reply is that he will come by tomorrow to be fill in on the new information she has. This is an interesting start to what is going to be an interesting relationship between these two characters. Nice job.

Comment from TheStoryMan
I think Logan is in for a shock. You don't have to be big and male to investigate crime. I can understand him wanting to solve his sister's murder but it might be better if he lets the professionals handle it. This is going to be interesting.

So far, I am hooked. You are a very good writer. Your plot is clear, you opened with a hook and the little dog is a real plus. You have a clean style, not cluttered with messy add-ins or unnecessary conversation. I will look with anxious eyes to the next chapter. Very fine work!
