Mom's good looks and Dad's charm - add the capitals as you are using Mom and Dad as their names in this context
Carol, Well, it would appear this guy was even more evil than his detractors ever suspected - one sure wants his "loving" sister to get away with her act of vengeance. An engaging story with a great twist ending!! Brooke

Good luck on the writing prompt!

This is a very well written story. It's very sad yet detailed and has an interesting story plot. It leaves with the reader a strong message of what life can really be to some who are cruel, and some who finally grow tired to being the one to take creulty to it's final blow...

The wording content is very good and believeable and shows deep regret mixed with feelings of love and hate, for a sibling who was very mean to his dear loved one in life.....

I enjoyed the imagagination of this Author and cried in my heart knowing, this happens all the time in life.

Blessings....MOuntainstar2..

Your story is well done, Carol. I read with interest from beginning to ending, became easily engaged with the characters and their credible interaction and dialogue, and had a hint of something amiss between Jennie and Taylor before the revealing ending episode but nothing definite just a nice foreshadowing--not sure how you did that but it was a good thing to have done.

Good luck in the competition with this good story.

Very nice. I simply loved this intrigue. Only more than half-way did I suspect what was going on and smiled at the end when PI jada was correct. The story was well told, full of emotion and good descriptives. It was a good read and is a worthy contest entry.
Best wishes. luv jada

Great story and dialogue that keeps you reading on to the end. The plot was very similar to the "Murder She Wrote" style. Over all the story was entertaining and had a good flow to it. Well done. hilda ann

I really loved this story. The ending was excellent, though you also did a very good jog of hinting here and there. I did suspect it was her, perhaps because I also love crime and perhaps think like a criminal at times! You held my attention with the dialogue, snappy and believable. You did all that was required and gave us all something to think about.
Jenny is portrayed very well.

This story had a very surprise ending to it.

You write very well. Followed story easily. Portrayed
the emotions of those betrayed by abuse.
Certainly can't agree with the way she handled it, but can understand. very well told. Jean

    It wouldn't be my choice of resolution either, but that's what is nice about writing. You can put ideas to paper and no one really gets in harms way.

    Thanks for the review.

What a fantastic and well worded story, moving at a terrific pace. And a surprise ending. I did not see it coming; which is a good thing. The dialogue is impeccable, and the characters very believable. Good luck in the contest.

    This was just a quick short story, but you are right, it could be developed into a great book. Thanks for the review. Carol
