Well, Eleanor knows who had her killed and she isn't shy about making his life miserable. I not sure why they charged Trevor with murder because I don't remember him having a gun. He was just there when it went down. Trevor was doing so stupid talk in court. He was lucky his aunt was helping him.

    It was merely the Judge's doings...thinking he could do whatever he wanted and no one would say anything about it. But it backfired and Eleanor had to step in.

Now that's the way I'd like to be a ghost. One minute, alive and well, the next hidden right under the noses of those all around me. LOL. Thanks for sharing another fine chapter.

    I want to be a ghost like that too. Imagine what we could get away with and never get caught. So much fun!

First there was Lorrie in your previous book. Now there is Eleanor. You certainly know how to create lovable characters who the reader can root for. I'm glad Eleanor will have an active roll while the FBI and detective solve their mysteries.

    There is no way I could write a story without having some good, wholesome people rooting for the others too. We all need a little hug once in a while and I think Lorrie and Eleanor are those huggers.

My brother was a keen golfer and a county court judge in England, so Judge Doyle's initial reaction rings true! However, I I'm sure Judge Fawcus was a little kinder to his clerk and not so crooked! LOL.
I can't imagine that a murder charge would be sprung on the defendant out of the blue in the courtroom like that in England, but maybe things are different in the USA.

I'm very much enjoying Eleanor's shenanigans!
On to the next chapter...

    I think I too enjoy Eleanor's shenanigans...maybe a bit too much...Wait! Never! Oh heavens, I can't imagine your brother being in the same ill-gotten league as Judge Doyle. I might have taken a wee bit of liberty on the murder charge... can't blame a writer for trying. LOL Could thing it's fiction.

Wow, after reading this chapter, you have my full attention. There are a lot of crooked judges in real life. One in our county was well-known for letting the person with the most money win. He openly took payoffs, but no one could prove it. Excellent writng.

    Sounds like Judge Doyle. I think he will look quite fashionable in prison stripes when Donatelli and Garth catch up with him. I'm glad I smoked your socks right off of you! LOL

    thanks for the awesome review and stars. I always love hearing from you!

This is a fun post, you're really getting into the nitty gritty of having a very live ghost around, just imagine how quickly one could solve a case, now the judge is continuing with his nefarious dealings and Eleanor knows about, I love this step in the process of writing, well done, blessings Roy

    Thanks, Roy! I am enjoying Eleanor. It's touch to keep it a murder mystery and add in her antics, but I am doing it as much as I can. Appreciate the review.

I read this out of order. Sorry, but I figured things out from the previous one I read. This just confirmed what I thought. This is another good read.

    that's always my fear when I am posting two chapters a day, but this story keeps growing and I can't see wrapping it up any other way. We have a long way to go. thanks so much, Barbara.

The Judge is in trouble now. Eleanor will not let him get away with this. I love it when ghosts come into the action, and I especially like Eleanor. But she knows the Judge is responsible for her murder, even if he didn't do the deed himself. Now to go and read the next chapter. Well done, my clever friend. Love and hugs, Sandra xx

    I like Eleanor too! I am glad that you are enjoying her. I am much more relaxed with her than I was with the last story. She's another Benny in a way! Thank you as always and I can't wait to hear what you think of the next chapter.
    Smiles, hugs and lots of lvoe, Carol

Eleanor is having fun but is "deadly" serious at the same time. The judge seems to be more than corrupt, he is plain evil to the core. Let's hope Trevor gets a bit of sense. Meanwhile it'll be interesting to see what Garth does next. Very intriuing and engrossing read.
