Comment from BOO ghost
BOO is reading prose...The elevator slowed to a halt before Eleanor could ask anything further, and the doors opened. Matthew stepped out, flanked by two ghosts -- one he could see and one he could feel. Two ghosts on the case. Do they get paid overtime?
Sophia, Max, and Hilda had been amongst the first to arrive. Their faces were pale with shock. Murmurs and gasps spread through the growing crowd gathered around the motionless body. Well. Another murder. All because of a pageant-- a torn piece of fabric, barely visible in the shadows. Oh, this torn piece of fabric is the smoking gun?
Another splendid episode, count your doubloon.
BOO!

It seems the murders or attmpted murders are continuing. I guess the works out good to have the qhosts are to pass through walls and floata up the ceiling to see what clues might be up there might be. So far I don't know a motive.

You shouldn't figure it out yet or I wouldn't be doing my job of keeping you in the dark. Only breadcrumbs for now. LOL Thanks for the read and the review. Appreciate it very much.

Comment from Sally Law
Great chapter, my friend! I see you fixed the errors straight away and now it reads so smoothly. Now we have an attempted murder added to the roux. I wonder if it was imtemded for someone else than the stagehand or if it was just a message. Staying on.
Sending you my best today as always.

Since they appeared to be about to kidnap Sophia and Hilda, too, maybe someone set it up as a diversion, or maybe not. I've got to keep you guessing. Thanks, Sally, for the lovely review and the sixes. I can't seem to get the commas and periods in the right place, no matter how often I send them through an editor. To be honest, half the time, I can't see which one I used. They look the same. But then you would know a lot about that stuff. I appreciate the stars so much.
Smiles and hugs, Carol

Most welcome. It takes me 30-40 hours to write one book chapter. FanStory edit is a pain in the ass.
Just sayin'.

Comment from barbara.wilkey
The story line is really good, but with these errors I can't in good conscience give it six stars, sorry. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Danny giggled, "Ever heard of knocking before entering a room?" (Danni??? & giggled.)
The young man smiled at the girls, his voice smooth and reassuring. "It's okay now. He's gone."
Hilda looked up at Eleanor. "Johan saved us. Some man followed us to Sophia's hideout and tried to kidnap us." (Two dialogues in one paragraph. & reassuring,)
Eleanor smiled, "Thank you, Johan, for rescuing the girls." (smiled.)
Donatelli moved away from the scene before answering Danni. "You find something?" (Danni,)
The detective smiled, "Good work, Danni." (smiled.)

Sorry about the errors. I'll check them out, but I don't understand why my editors (on the comp[uter) do't catch these things or tell me differently. I trust you...but it angers me. I'm off to make the changes. And thank you for catching them.
Smiles, Carol
Every last comma and period corrected and spaces added. Thank you again!

I've noticed in my own writing it the computer doesn't catch everything. I have no clue why. It doesn't make sense.
Comment from Lindsey Russell
I love this story. I'm not usually one for mystery fiction but since beginning to read your work I've been hooked! Nice job and happy writing! I'll be on the lookout for further installments.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I love Max, I love dogs! It was lucky he was able to find Sophia, being blind, she'd have had a problem getting away. I reckon the 'accident' and the 'murder' are connected. But at least Danni has found some clues. We need to find someone with a tear in his/her clothes. This was another wonderful chapter, with Eleanor and Danni 'helping' Donatelli. Lol, doen't he love them!!! Well done, my friend. I'm already looking for the next chapter. Love and hugs, Sandra xxxxx

Sandra, my dear...You are always so good to me. I am glad that you enjoyed this one...I had a struggle trying to keep it happy with the ghosts...but life was getting in my way. It was Mike's 5th anniversary and it knocked the socks off me. But I know all will be well again. So I finished it up this morning and hoped it would pass. Glad you liked it.
Just wrote a short and posted...It started as a romance for the 100 word contest and turned into something totally different.... so no contest for it. LOL
Sending my love, Carol
Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
I could never write mysteries. I don't know how you manage to remember it all and how you add in the clues early for later discovery. It is all very complicated to me....which is why I write limericks, I suppose lol Fun chapter.

And I couldn't write a limerick or a poem that anyone would think worthwhile. We each have what we are good at... I'm happy that mine is mysteries and really happy that yours are the limeriks....my daily dose of laughter.

Comment from Jacob1395
I thought you did another excellent job with the action and dialogue in this chapter which kept me really engaged as I was reading it. I could feel the sense of relief towards the end as well following the rescue of the girls. I'm looking forward to the next chapter.
