These two sisters are not exactly loving each other, are they? What a wicked woman that Fiona is. But, until I know what is going on with Sharice, I can't really say what I honestly think about her. She sounds edgy around Fiona, but is that because she is hiding something. I still think Fiona is most likely to have killed Peyton, if he is in fact dead! This gets more mysterious as we go along, Carol. I just can't begin to imagine how this will end. Well done again, my friend. Love, Sandra xxxx

    Hi, Sandra! this creepy story has me shivering when I write it. LOl I don't really like either of them but Fiona is a nut case for sure. But she is also the crafty one out of the two. Sharice is hiding something but she's not as good at doing it. Thanks for continuing to read. Lucky for both of us, this will be a short one. Not too mancy chapters in it.
    Smiles and hugs, Carol

Both these sisters are not particularly nice to one another, nor are they forgiving in a way sisters can be. You've created a great mystery here Carol, not quite sure who is the guilty party, or even if anyone is guilty, well done, blessings Roy

    Thanks, Roy! thanks for reading another chapter of this creepy story. I'm glad that it won't take long to finish it. LOL Otherwise, I might not sleep at night. Appreciate the time and the review.

Now you've done it. Each of the sisters is suspicious and each has things to hide... Sharice, at the medical building tracts with what may be a pregnancy test. Fiona exiting her wheelchair removed all doubt that she had to be innocent due to her immobility. Oh right...and we still don't have a body! Chills here. I feel this way when I read Poe, too!

    Me too! I steer as far away of Edgar as possible but for some reason this story tends to make me think he's haunting me somehow. LOl And we still don't have a body!!!

Wow, I'm wondering why Fiona would tell the police that Sharice is guilty. One suggestion: You begin the first paragraph with 'he.' It would be good to identify the detective for the reader, since it's a new chapter. Goose bumps on this chapter! LOL. Carol

    I always forget that a person isn't reading chapter after chapter as if it was a book. Thanks for reminding me. This book is creepy, huh?

Ok. Both sisters are suspicious! Fiona walking away from the wheelchair opens up a whole new set of questions and proves I was right to distrust her. Got to love the cliff hangers you leave us on lol

    thanks, Marilyn. Normally I wouldn't reveal that part about the wheelchair but I have to make this story shorter so I am ready for the Nov 1st contest... Besides, I scare myself with this one. LOL

This chapter is even more chilling than the last one. Your dialogue between the characters is spot on. As a reader, I am terrified of Fiona. Poor Sharice. I must have missed it, but did they find Payton's body? It never says so in this chapter, and I thought I'd read chapter 2. There was one sentence structure question. It's the paragraph that starts "Trembling with frustration." Should it be from that or for that? I'm on the edge of my seat. gayla

Good job. I can't wait to read more.

"Give it to me, or you'll be sorry." (Is this telling us something???)

Fiona rushed to the fireplace, leaving her chair behind. (Not in the wheelchair. I thought this might be the case.)

"I promise you'll regret crossing me." (Also, very telling.)

    Thanks, Barbara... This won't be a long story so I have to put the clues front and center... yet I believe there will be a few surprises still. Thank you so much for the review.
