That's such an interesting piece. I love the mystery, the anticipation and then the final solution was a complete surprise. All in all, I really enjoyed reading this.

    Thank you for your review, and your positive words. This piece I remember writing - it was even mysterious to me!

You know how to bring out the suspense in your writing. Ending the story keeping the readers wanting more, I will be anxiously waiting for more on the "Con game".

I skipped over this the first time and having read it again, I do see the suspicion and paranoia that this delivery might arouse. I'm new to fanstory and this is my first review of a book chapter. I look forward to the next installment.

I'll have to watch for that. I'd like to know if Cicely is really a con artist or if the narrator is paranoid. Is she OK? Paranoia can sound funny, but it's anything but for the sufferer.

    Think the narrator is OK (thanks for asking), but strange things happen in parallel worlds.

Very good. I too was confused by multiple deliveries. I received several microwave ovens and couldn't understand it. I did some investigating and discovered my cat going online and ordering them. It was a case of identity theft.

    Your experience sounds to have been a strange one. Quite funny really, as identity theft figures in the book (marginally - there is a lot to fit in).

Your last line says it all, we should never jump to conclusions without being in possession of all the facts and this is how wars start! He he he, much enjoyed Katherine, love Dolly x

I'm glad you told me this was part of an ongoing story as well as a contest entry. As a contest entry it's great as a chapter it's okay. I would hope the actual novel would have a meatier chapter to replace this.

    It should. I won't have the word count limit to deal with. But I will of course be restricted by my own fear :)

    Thanks for stopping by, and for your assessment that I find useful.

Well, it always pays to check facts before running away with the wrong idea, lol. But clearly there is a reason for this fear, and I, for one, will be interested to see what the basis for it is. Cicely sounds intriguing. I look forward to reading more.

I think that there are so many scams going around that it's hard not to think that you are when you see something suspicious. Perhaps being a bit to cautious is a good thing. Thanks for sharing this well written work. Well done!

Nice that they deliver - those things are heavy. We get our replacement used appliances from the ReStore - which has great prices - and why not. However, if it's delivered - well, that helps.
Cute story

    We are spoilt in Europe. They will even deliver used appliances.

    I have a friend in Washington state whose washer is broke. I try to encourage her to get someone to bring her a used one. She's growing older and is forgetful I'm sorry to say. Nice that they deliver.
