Wow! This is quickly becoming my favorite of your novels, Sandra. I've always been partial to your paranormal tales, and you do have a knack for them, but this one, in particular, seems most compelling. That may be, and probably is, because you've grown exponentially in your writing.

    What a lovely compliment, Jay, thank you so very much. I can't take all the credit, it's you and other amazing authors on here who have helped me grow. Without you all, I'd still be churning out nursery rhymes. :))
    Thank you, my friend, for this lovely review and the golden star. I really appreciate both. Love and hugs. :)) Sandra xx

I think Margot's feelings fit very well with the story so far. The fact that someone can be reborn, or rather, manifest the mission of the ancestor is born out in scripture, Jesus is listed as the Son of David, at least, the human side, and scripture goes to great pains to point out the ancestry dating back to Adam, 42 generations. Brave written Sandra, blessings Roy

    You always say such wonderful things, Roy, and I love what you've said here. The Bible is an amazing reference book for so many things that happen in life, even today, thousands of years after it was written. Thank you, dear friend. Love and hugs, Sandra xx

To begin with, you have use plural were in place of was and visa versa.

'They managed to keep Mistress Meg's whereabouts a secret for nearly eight years. Then Miles put on a party for her birthday, and a few trusted friends {was} were invited. It {were} was only days later that she had that so-called accident. Miles {were} was beside {his} himself {self} with grief.' 

This needs an edit. When your verbs are out of sinc, it makes it disrupts the flow. Otherwise it was an easy read.

Good Job

    Hi Jeff, No, it doesn't need an edit, at least, not for the reasons you've pointed out, it's the way Bessie speaks, and she is modeled on a real person. She always says 'his self, not himself and she always gets her, were's and was's in the wrong place. That's what makes her such a character. Thanks for reading! I hope you will continue to follow the story, I'll add the fact that Bessie and all the other characters are UK English person, and this is her Hampshire dialect. Thank you, again! Sandra

    I stand corrected.

    Again, Good job.

    Lol! Thank you, but it was my own fault I sometimes forget that not everyone knows Bessie. Thanks again, it was kind of you to offer to help. xx

I love where this is going. There is so many unanswered questions that I can't wait to find the answer to. You just keep adding to the intrigue of Bessie. I'm pretty sure that Margot has to be feeling like she's losing her grip on reality. She couldn't leave the house to go to work, but she just walked right out when she went for a run. As always I'll be waiting got the next chapter! Have a wonderful week! Hugs to you:) Sally

You build up the suspense well. Most people will be familiar with that 'I don't want to go back to work' feeling, but not many will have experienced either the escalation of the feeling like a severe attack of agoraphobia Margot suffers from here or the conversation with the late Miles.

The way you have written it makes it feel belivable and that will keep the reader reading.

    Thank you so much for this wonderful review, Jim, and all those stars. That you think I've written it in a way that is believable, is the biggest compliment you could have paid me. :)) Humongous hugs, my friend. xxx

    I hope your journey was good and you are all settled in. I'll be waiting for our next chat when you come home, I want to hear all about it. xx

I think Margot is slowly being taken over by Meg, and Bessie is more than a housekeeper. If all this is true, the question is will Margo disappear from this time warp, and is Bessie all part of this? Great chapter, showing the struggle Margot's trying to overcome.

    It does seem that way. As for Bessie? Hmm.
    Thank you so much, dear SATP for this lovely review and that golden star. Margot has some problems to sort out, but will they be the right ones? Lol, thank you dear sister. I loved this review. Love and hugs. Sandra xxx

This does get more and more mysterious, Sandra. You've written it well, to draw us into Margot's character, giving us those chills she feels, and the heart pounding. I usually see some early clues when reading mysteries, but I have no ideas in this one. Well done.

Once again this is a great story. You have completely captured me. I can't wait to find out what is going to happen to Margot. I am also curious if she's going to be able to go to work tomorrow. It's as if the house has captured her.
