This almost sort of kindof reminds me of Snowpiercer meets Sweeney Todd meets Sideways lol but it's definitely your own thing and I for one loved it. If I had a six star left I'd give it to you for the story as a whole. Great work and thanks for sharing. Later daze.

    I like the Sideways, Sweenie Todd analogy. Will have to ponder Snow piercer, one of my favs. Thanks for the review, and much appreciated for the stars.

I love this story. You have a wonderful strong beginning. I couldn't stop reading from star to end. The ending was wonderful. I love when the whole story comes together and I can actually picture the ending.

Wow, wine with the taste of... body parts. I hope idea will not come reality for some of our winemakers. This chapter is quite concentrate, but I like it. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

    Many thanks. When researching this story I was told by winemakers the greeks used to put animal bones in their wine for the calcium. Hope thats all they put in. :>)

Isn't that something. The trouble one little dog can cause when they find something that they shouldn't. I love how the wine is described at the end, "having a bold, meaty taste."

This was a most thrilling two chapter post. It was intriguing from beginning to end. You did a magnificent job writing this.

Noticed one typo:
They knew Tuesdays were always a slow time for business, so fewer distractions as the (they) probed.

    Tuesday night was a good time for Inspector Officers Mallory and Dean to visit the little town of Oliver. They knew Tuesdays were always a slow time for business, so fewer distractions as the probed. Dex was working one side of the street, Fred the other. They could case the town faster that way.

Hi Brad,
Everything is smooth the straight forward here. Story moves consecutively forward, good pace, characters interact well, consistent emotional development, characters operate well within their venues, the creepy is just right creepy, begins and ends to wrap a solid whole.
Only one suggestion:
"That night Kat sat at the table very excited, she described her call to Uri from the magazine."
It's not saying what you are wanting it to say :) Kat is describing her call from the magazine to Uri in an excited manner. Not a call TO Uri...at least I think that is what you are meaning here...
Love the "Kat joke." never heard it before...
Well done!

    Thanks for your great review. I went back and cleaned up that area as you noted, to make it clearer. Kat had good news from the magazine for Uri. Then next day, even better news from her distributer, saying her wine, sold out. But it was the wrong wine... Lot 3!!! That's when she found out it was Honrich.
