At least something went right! Although, it wasn't exactly what I had expected. But considering the author, I wasn't surprised that there was a bend in the road.

Thank you so much, Judy, for taking time out to read my foolishness. Most of these readers don't really know the first thing about me, which is good. But what they really don't know is that those of you who do know me, never know what I might say or do next either. LOL. I appreciate your kind and generous review, but most of all, for YOU being YOU!
Comment from Loren .
Your descriptive words is what drew me in to this story. And then, as I read, the theme of the story kept me going with it many twists and turns. You were able to draw a vivid picture of the judge early on and he was an easy man to distrust, even hate. Oh, the irony. Oh the justice. Especially for a judge. Loren

Thank you so much, Ulla, for your generous review and kind words. Yes, it is longer than I wanted it to be, I just couldn't figure out a way to cut it back. LOL. I'm so glad you liked it. And greatly appreciate your taking time to read and review it. Much appreciated!
Comment from L. Kalere
Another roller coaster ride of a story. I appreciate the effort you take with accurate descriptions (unless you just know a lot of stuff). Often times using specific information rather than general can make a good story even better. The killer knew the house, so he knew the wife too? Wow, cheating everywhere you look. Glad she nailed hubby,,,nice touch.

Thank you so much, Linda, for your generous review and kind comments. I'm glad you think I put in extra effort for accurate descriptions, but honestly, I just wing it off the top of my head. LOL. Most of all, I'm just glad enjoy and take the time to read. I appreciate YOU!
Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
You have a find collection of really creepy people here. The wife seemed to only bright light in a crowd until she called her sister, who was a good person. It was a little bit of a let-down for the wife to have rigged the husband's death, but it was the perfect way to turn the tables.

Thank you so much, Carol, for your extra special six-star review and kind words. I'm sorry I disappointed you with the ending. I did kind of leave it so readers could sort of decide in their own minds what they thought. But your choice is the most likely. LOL. It's always a pleasure for such talented writers like you to enjoy my foolishness. I appreciate YOU!
Comment from Sally Law
And I apologise for no six to give today! This was brilliant, absolutely brilliant! Although a short story, you packed it all in from beginning to end. You're so talented, my friend. I learn so much reading you. Mind blowing action!
Sending you my best today as always and blessings for your writing endeavors.

Thank you so much, Sal, my dear, for your generous review and kind words. There is no six that could ever compare to the praise from such a talented writer as you. Someone who I've enjoyed reading and learning from for a long time. You've made my week! I appreciate YOU!
Comment from Spitfire
I would give this a six, but I think the adjectives are overdone. But it's a great story when it comes to character and plot.
The judge sounds typical of an abuser: good-looking, charming, intelligent. You add the reason Sienna won't leave him. It's rarely about money.

Comment from Tom Horonzy
A delightful read save for how did Pastor Gurley get to be? And a Duschene smile??? I had to look that up. Crow feet, hmm. Like George Clooney's. Is he or was related to Rosemary?

ROFL! Yes, George Clooney is Rosemary's nephew. Pastor Gurley just happened to be a way to make the judge more of a scumbag. Maybe I should have said flawless, fake smile for Duchenne. Thanks for your generous review and the time it takes to read my foolishness. Much appreciated!

Without your pennings of foolishness how would I top of my tanks of the same ilk. We feed off each other even if only occasionally. I like your stuff.

I enjoy your stuff every day! It's lets me know I'm not totally unique, and there is someone out there who doesn't think of me as a freak. At least all of the time. :-)
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Revenge is sweet in your story and I enjoyed the ride. Domestic abuse exists and it is so very sad that women suffer at the hands of men who abuse them constantly, but this guy got what was coming to him and she was eventually free of the abuse. I enjoyed your epic write Ric, love Dolly x x x

Thank you so much, Dolly, for your generous review, kind words, and the time you spent reading something I'd bet isn't on your preferred list. The reason your reading it is all the more appreciated!
Comment from T B Botts
Hello Ric,
well done on your story. Frankly, I thought the detail with the mirror was a little bit of overkill, but the rest of the story really sparkled. I had to re-read to understand that not only had she been abused as a child, but she had married an abusive jerk. I wonder if she must have thought that all men were animals, especially given the fact that she was in a relationship with the man who (justifiably) murdered her husband. This is really interesting. Great job, especially at the end.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

Thank you so much, Tom, for your extra special six-star review and kind words. There is more truth in this story than I care to admit. Having known the judge and his wife, and having actually seen the two million dollar mirror. So, now you know the reason I just couldn't leave it out. LOL. I appreciate generous and encouraging review! Wishing you the best, today and always!

I do see now Ric, and I apologize, I had no idea. Two million for a mirror. Someone really wanted to admire themselves. The judge sounds like a real piece of work, but all too often people who rise to power feel that somehow they are justified in their actions. Well done!
Blessings,
Tom
