Great development of the attraction that Jana has for the Sheriff. And I suspect that he returns the feelings, as he's been so generous in his compliments to her. Rick notices the cozy exchange between the two, but doesn't seem to like it. Sounds like he has a crush on Jana. That should make things interesting. Interesting discovery about Jana's relative that had committed suicide after being abused by priest. Great conclusion here, lots of suspense with Hank wondering about the lights being turned off. And then the discovery of the ear. Scarey stuff! Quite exciting to read. judi

Oh my! Is it Mr. Buell's ear? Is he in the box below this small gift wrapped box? I wonder who is doing these horrible murders. Could it be someone in law enforcement be doing these horrid murders? I'm anxious to find out, Bev. This is well done, but gruesome. LOL.

Oh can I just say yuck! I have both my ears so it doesn't belong to me. Fascinating post for the continuation of this story. Well penned as always.
Thanks for sharing it, so glad I read this in daylight:)
Maureen

Edit check:

""Has an APB has been issued?""// double use of 'has'

Yuck to finding a human ear gift wrapped. I thought it was going to be the whole head. Either one would be a horrible find.

I have a crucifix blessed by the pope. A friend brought it back. Apparently any merchandise sold in Rome is blessed by the pope. Who knew???

"sorry to hear of (Stanley's Eitner's) death" - only one name needs apostrophe, I think.

    Hi, Joy. Thanks so much, my friend, for your supportive and generous review. Correction made - glad you caught that.

    I did think about a head, but too much blood to deal with LOL.

    Hugs, Bev

The suspense factor is increased as the reader gets a brief glimpse of the killer. You are leaving enough clues but nothing that will directly point to the killer. Good job.

An ear - not a head? Oh, my over-active mind!!

A great tense read, Bev - so exciting and seems so real. A sign of a good writer, my friend.

How gruesome. A human ear! Poor Henk seems to be on the hit list if you ask me. I liked the way you built tension in this chapter. The attraction between Jana and Oelsen is something special. Wonder if it will develop. I still love this book.
Little gremlins for you to catch:

"Has an APB (has) been issued?"

He'd not noticed [it] in his brief sweep of the hallway.

Well written and good progress. Luv jada

a single human ear. This is the type of incident that starts a good detective story rolling. Your writing is okay, just watch your paragraph let-downs. Good structure, well written and coordinated with good extensions. I liked the flow of your storytelling and I found the Indian component rather interesting.Well done. Kind regards.

    Hi, chasennov. Thank you much for stopping in to read my chapter. I will have to admit my ignorance of the term, 'paragraph let-downs'. Have to google that LOL.

    I appreciate the support and generosity of your review.

    Warm regards, Bev

    You're very welcome Bev, I doubt whether even Google would know this one. Only poets have the rights to it. Kind regards.
