Near the end of line 24: 'In raged'... [Enraged]
End of line 52: ?(All always) thought she (she)....
line 54: ...with anyone other (that) [than]...
I didn't find the chapter confusing, although one had to keep one's wits! The terrible sense of foreboding, of something 'nasty' hanging over their heads is explained now, which is something of a relief. Hope you can find the spags okay. I've put them down where they are on my computer, which may vary from yours. I'm still elated when I see a new chapter, Giddy :)

Even though I have not read the previous chapter, this one does a good job standing alone. It is very well written, especially considering the subject matter within. Good job.

Very good chapter I can't even imagine this kid taking on so much hardship. His father is a real piece of work. There are things I do believe should be left behind.

    I agree completely. Sadly, James's need to know is leading him down a very, very dark road. Glad you liked this one.

James' mother decided to tell James everything she knew about his father. His father was damaged merchandize. Even though he knew his father lied about many things, he chose to believe women were weak and stupid. His treated James' mother very badly. Sometimes a person won't change even if evidence says he should.

Wow, the more of this I read, the more I believe it is truly based on some facts garnered from somewhere. Maybe even a combination. What a messed up family for sure but you tell the story very well!!!

    Yes, it is based loosely on 5 different serial killers, Hurley is based on my Grandfather, Mac two friends I know on the Seattle Police force, James if a combination of my imagination and several real geniuses I have had the pleasure of knowing, and the rest is a vivid imagination. Glad you liked this one.

Hi, Sasha, this is 'confusing' because the situation described is confusing. I have no suggestion to offer, we readers have to figure it our ourselves ... :) Highly interesting chapter. I wonder how the next will be.

    Yes, the situation is a unfamiliar one therefore making it confusing. It will clear up as the book progresses...I promise!

'When is Too Much Too Much?' is full of more story than I thought anyone could imagine. You present the wierd facts in a convincing way, Sasha.

I guess 'is' should be 'if' here:'...I couldn't tell [is](if) she was serious...

most common typo, missing 'r': '...you(r) father began acting...

comma: '..were from Blaine(,) Washington."

again that typo: '....died before you(r) father was born.

typo: Although[t] I wasn't so sure about the world...

I can hardly wait for more. Great job! luv, Marie
