Excellent as the drama of a murder, or was it in self defence.. casts its question upon the sherrif and the media in the form of the newspaper industry!

Comment from 7DOSCHannah
I thought it was over all good and really just a few grammical errors here and there, but if you reread it again they are quite obvious. Good job and keep up the good work!

I love all the detail in this chapter. The crime scene stuff is really interesting, and getting all that from what they saw is phonomenal. great job.

Comment from Dave-Aranda-Richards
bhogg you are very good at creating conflict which is a books most important part. Only suggestion is to edit the dialogue...there are a places where the verbiage could be condensed. Other that that, a very-very good piece.

Thanks Dave - I am continually editing and re-editing, so will take a look. One of the problems I continue to have is that so many people are dropping in for the first time, so I wind up using much heavier dialog than necessary. The final version will definitely be lighter. Regards, Bill
Comment from Jetco
It was s tortuous read but enjoyable thus the 5 stars. I did not find any spag, but not being an editor what do I know about spag.

Comment from ejebb1951
This is just packed with suspense, murder and Dax, the main man is awesome. The right material leading up to a movie. I'd pay to see this. I haven't read 1 thru 12 but I'm on my way. Nice work this one.

Thank you for reading and for your kind comments. For sure, chapter 1 is an introduction and chapter 2 is a lengthy back story for the main character Dax. Regards, Bill

I learned all about torture in my first marriage, so consider myself somewhat of an expert. Contact me any time! Thanks for reading and the kind words. Regards, Bill
Comment from Sally Carter
Your story is cracking on apace, Bill. I really don't have anything to compare this with, since it's not my usual kind of reading, but it seems pacy, and I am getting involved with the characters. And I'm still reading it! That is the biggest endorsement you could get.
Of all your chapters so far, this felt perhaps the most engaging and easiest to read. It really seemed to flow well and tied several strands together.
In a few places you use commas where they seem unnecessary to me:
Now, she and Lael, were publisher, editor and part time sales people - don't think you need the comma after "Lael"
Lael(,) looked up from her coffee.
the poor man(')s booby trap
A really good read, Bill. Definitely getting stronger with each chapter so far as I am concerned.
Best wishes
Sally

Thanks for reading Sally and staying with a genre that you don't normally follow up. I do take that as a comment. I'll revisit the areas you pointed out. I didn't realize the difficulty of a book - sometimes I miss the stand alone stories! Regards, Bill
Comment from Isaiah Ramesses
Ah... A novel idea. It's been far too long since I've reviewed you, B. I haven't read any of this but will try to keep up with it. Nice narration and well imagined characters.
