FLOWED SMOOTHLY, DIALOGUE VERY CRISP AND REALISTIC. NARRATIVE PORTION OF THE CHAPTER EXCELLENT. SCENE CONSTRUCTION GOOD, WITH GOOD HOOK AT THE END FOR THE READER WANTING TO TURN TO THE NEXT CHAPTER TO SEE IF THE GRANDMOTHER WAS LYING, AND IF SO, WHY?

GOOD JOB. SIXES USED FOR THE MONTH, HENCE THE FIVE.

TAKE CARE,

RAY

Hi Smurph,

This is a short chapter and leaves me wanting more. I know you haven't[t been feeling well which the reason for the brevity. It seems Mac has discovered something that won't help the case against James' father. However, I think he will be put away for good based on what they do know about him. As usual I can't wait to see what happens next....blessings, chey

    Yes, it is a short chapter. I intentionally made it short because the next one is going to be quite long.

The law is sometimes too strait-laced for its own good. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read.


Alpine's (Alfina's)story doesn't match his findings.

Nice flow and natural dialogue. The surprising twist is very effective and plausible in the light of crime and investigation... makes the story even more intruiging ... the reader now can't wait for the next chapter, even though she came in the middle of the story! lol!!!

Just when the whole family history of pain and death looks like its going to see the light of day, grandma's story appears to have some very big holes in it. Will the truth every really come out? James is going to have to wait for more information to fit the whole puzzle together.

How are you feeling? Anything new?

    Like they say, ignorance is bliss.
    He's too smart for his own good.
    Glad to hear your doing fine.
