Hi Barbara! It's moving right along... personally, I wish, once again, that a person could put up an entire chapter at once... and not have to put it up in pieces. I wouldn't mind reading a few thousand words of this in one chapter. I've got a feeling that it would go quickly, as this always goes by too quickly. The sign of a good story. :)
Just one glitch... I think you were typing too fast! In the paragraph that begins with... "A druggy, who was looking for an easy mark,"... there's a sentence with what I think is an extra word... -Why were they (were) meeting?- see? typing too fast... lol That was the only one I found. :)

An interesting episode, and it looks like the a definite cover up in Meghan's murder, too many gaps in the evidence, so Logan and Mack are discovering, going to the actual scene that wasn't roped off for one. They find a cell phone which probably didn't belong to Meghan, well done Barbara, an excellent episode, blessings, Roy
Typo : Gave the camera to Logan to hold as (she) pulled...2: but (in) real life...
3 : we don't know for (a) fact... 4: Shoot(,) that guy could...

Hi Barbara, another great chapter. II like the story. It's well written and I'm looking forward to reading on.
"We don't know for fact that she was pregnant, only that she thought she could be." I think it should read: "We don't know for a fact that... or "We don't really know whether she was pregnant, ... Just a thought.
All the best. Ulla xx

This is another well penned addition to the ongoing story. The offside conversation about the Megan's phone was a nice break in the tension you were building. I enjoyed it and really like the way you are developing the relationship between these two characters. Well done and thank you very much for sharing it.

I really liked this chapter. You manage to keep the reader at the edge: who do you trust? Is the police covering up for somebody? Who and why will somebody kill a teacher? thanks for sharing and good luck with your book publishing.

Good episode. Sure sounds like the cops are hiding evidence for some reason. Where is Megan's phone? They should have it to be checking her calls. Maybe that throw-away phone WAS hers, because she didn't want her calls on record. And surely the autopsy showed if she was pregnant or not, and if so, the guy's DNA would be close to the baby's. So where is all this major info?

Hi Barbara,

good solid chapter here. Making some headway with the case and the easiness that is coming from Mac & Logan is a joy.

Not sure what's happened with the formatting here but there's no lines between the paragraphs.

I think when you read through this in its entirety you'll notice a lot of letting dogs in and out. I'm not sure it's needed.

Rather than the silence continued (which was used to end the last chapter as well) you could change it about to things such as 'They fell into an easy silence.' or The rest of the journey was quiet. It's a bit odd to say the silence continued just after someone speaks.

make sense. It's still and active investigation." - an rather than and here.

None was mentioned in the police report. - perhaps none were or Nothing was.

"Who would rob a teacher? They don't make much money?" - the second sentence didn't feel like a question.

"Is there any way we could stop for some ice cream on the way home? I sure could use a turtle concrete about now?" - same thing here.
