I continue to admire your work. Your writing skills are perfect, from my imperfect world. Great idea, which I notice you do consistently is your cast of characters. I with all books would include this concept. Good story concept, and dialogue. Dan :))

Thanks very much Dan. This is a learning process for me as well. I've always written stand alone stories, so this has been interesting! Regards, Bill
Comment from Magic Wand
Ooh, I'm liking this. The bad guys are done for. I like it when the bad guys screw up and show they aren't as smart as they think. Your characters are developed nicely, the dialog is natural, and the story is interesting. Good job.

Bill,
This is a most interesting and engaging story. The action, dialogue, strong narrative, and character develop are all excellent.

Thanks for reading Duane and the spot. It doesn't seem to matter how thorough I edit, something slips. Regards, Bill
Comment from Isaiah Ramesses
Your characters are realistic enough--especially Enrique and Jorge. That scene was intense. As for the law officials, their easy enough to characterize with all the crime drama novels, movies, and tv series. Great job, Bill.

Comment from fictionwriter
Great little chapter. I loved the detail on the drug cartel and the way the two drug dealers treated each other, very real. Well done.
The two left( I would split this into two sentences making it smoother reading) and Beth sat at her desk and thumbed through the copies

Thank you very much for reading and for your kind and generous feedback. I'll circle back around for your spot. I'm all for short crisp sentence structure. Regards, Bill
Comment from Rama Rao
An excellent story which is racing like a fast train. It made absorbing reading right until the last word.
However, I think the following nits merit your attention.
It would not have surprised him if the bastard pulled the trigger-had pulled?
You two write up what you have and I'm going to work on the folder- a comma before and?
The two left and Beth sat at her desk - a comma before and?
they aren't too corrupted.-weren't?
He then took one of the bullets off and one by one, placed a bullet -confusing.

Comment from Connie P
Great chapter with only a few minor corrections needed. I haven't read the previous chapters but enjoyed this one very much.
Note:
·Beth took the copies. "Would you please take the original over to the Sheriff's office. **(?)
·* They knew I recognized them, so the fact that they didn't try to hide there**(their) faces, lead me to believe that they were probably going to kill me."
* While not original, it was none the less**(nonetheless), disturbing

Thank you for reading. I'll circle back around for corrections. If you ever have a few minutes, chapter one is an introduction and chapter two a lenghty back story about Dax. Regards, Bill

I enjoyed the way you managed to move from the thugs to the reporters to the investigators. Nice done. Good hold on the action as well. Ray aka krylon

Comment from Fritz-Lorenz
I read a lot of mysteries of various sort, and there is something missing in this. Not sexual, not prime characters,
more like it seems, a story line. I had trouble keeping my
interest up, and struggled a bit to hang on through. Needs targeting toward a climax, or maybe several, building up to
the prime. What say? Can you establish links to form that?
Tie things together better perhaps?

Hi Fritz - thanks for reading. I understand what you are saying, but this is basically a chapter in a book. Certainly, a stand alone story would have all you ask about. I would hope that the book, viewed in its entirety would have that.
