Excellent

You have squeezed a lot of narrative into eight lines. Easy to visualize this seasoned vet on his retirement day going through cold case files. This reminds me of Michael Connelly's latest Harry Bosch novel. Harry is retiring and does the same thing. Rod

Thanks for the insightful review. I don't know Harry, but I imagine this scene happening often. That one mystery that must be solved, like an emotional itch, I imagine. Cheers, judester
