Such a unique ending which brings a conclusion to all we knew or assumed and then leads us into anyone of several new adventures to be investigated. So much good fun and bad fun in one place. Loved it.

Comment from Father Flaps
Hi Sally,
Well, you wrapped things up in a tidy package. And you've laid the groundwork for the next novella. Stuart Whitehead better look over his shoulder... the blind girl has him covered.
The only thing I wonder about, and maybe it was covered (but I forget)... how did Analiese make out in court? Refresh me, please, if I missed it. Surely, there must be some ramifications.
I'm looking forward to the next story, and I imagine you're already into a draft of the first chapter.
Thanks for sharing your talent.
Hugs,
Kimbob

Thank you for the lovely review and generous super stars, dear Kim! I was worried that I?d lost you. So blessed by this, and all the marvelous reviews you have given me over the years. Thank you for the kind attention. Sending you my best today as always and blessings for the new year,

Comment from Gloria ....
While my reading was somewhat sporadic last year, I did stop in on quite a few of your chapters, and always enjoyed your good humour, great food and enormously adventurous work of Detective Law.
An excellent epilogue here for a terrific series of books.
Looking forward to where you will be going to next. :))

Comment from Mary Kay Bonfante
I love your Epilogue! It settles some things, while leaving some loose ends nicely untied for future resolution. I love the way you formatted it, and maintained an air of mystery.
Some suggested revisions:
Well... me, and Tony Alfanzi, and his obsession for my inherited art collection.

our newly reconstructed team of crime-solvers have gathered some solid clues and possible motive for the bomb.

Calla Lillies was nowhere to be found. ["Calla Lillies" would normally be italicized, so you may want to set it off in a normal font, since the rest of the text is in italics--also, two paragraphs down.]
but thus far, has come with nothing concrete.

Great closing video! I also like your tantalizing clues for what your next novella might be about. Bravo!

Thank you for the super six and helpful critique. I?m so glad to see you. I hope you got to this before the bonus expired. I am working on my next novella as I write this. The pilot is almost finished. I was sidelined this week by my doctor though. My blood work had three red alert areas: heart inflammation (a marker signaling a heart attack in the near future), high cholesterol, and I am back in the diabetic zone! I?ve had to make several changes immediately. This has taken time out of my day. It is all good! I am already seeing the fruits of my changes since Tuesday, as everything is going down and my weight has dropped 4 pounds. I am eating well, and keeping a food journal. My blood sugar today was 83! I am blown away! God has truly helped me and blessed me. Both diabetes and heart problems run in my family in spades.
You are stuck with me a little longer! :))
Sending you my best today as always,
Sal XOs

You're very welcome, dear Sally. I'm sorry that you had to make some dietary changes, but it seems that many of us need to do so, as we live a little longer. I have to watch my blood sugar, too, and I take several medications to make sure my various numbers stay well controlled. Congratulations on losing 4 pounds, that's a victory! Weight loss isn't easy. I look forward to reading your new story. God bless you, my friend, and I do hope you're feeling much better.
Love always,
Mary Kay xoxo
Comment from Loren .
Okay, I'm about to become a fan of this series. I've hesitated because of prior commitments and wanting to read at my pace, sometimes slow, sometimes fast and not in regimented segments. I'm also the type who sometimes likes to read the end of the story first to see if its something I might like ... your series certainly hits that mark for me. Congratulations on finishing this and I look forward to the next. Loren

Comment from Liz O'Neill
Is this a foreshadowing of things yet to be revealed: "After an unusual series of events, ...turnaround, remains a mystery. It's clever how you are teasing the reader. Also it makes things ever so interesting to hear the backstory of the artist. We'll be there.

Comment from estory
I thought it was one of the best novels going last year, and I look forward to your next book. We can expect good construction and imagination from you, a high degree of polish, and I like your style of using multiple viewpoints to flesh out our sense of a story. estory

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Super well done, Sal! You've not only cleared up some points, but you've given us the hope of more to come! I do love it when the same characters are in the books, the reader gets to know them like friends. You've written another amazing book, my friend, well done! Happy New Year! Love and hugs, Sandra xxxx

Great job with your summary and explaining some of the loose ends like about Izard and about the bomb that killed Alfanzi.
Sounds like you have three new cases to solve and will take us along for another wild ride.

Comment from WalkerMan
In this Epilogue you have done a splendid job of wrapping up your fourth story in the ongoing Blind Girl series, including tying up some loose ends while setting up the basis for the book to follow.
Along the way, you have introduced us to interesting characters real enough to seem like people we know (or would like to know -- except for the all-too-plausible villains), and always provide just enough detail in scenes and dialog that we feel present in the action. Also, there is an endearing sense of caring family growing among the positive characters.
I am grateful for having been able to read every chapter in order of appearance, right from the start, as that provides an understanding of the series not attainable in any other way. As in real life, each story is interconnected with all the others (in sometimes subtle ways); so knowing what happened earlier assures peak enjoyment.
You have delighted this reader for now as well as provoked curiosity about what might transpire in the next book in this fascinating series.
Superb, and aptly illustrated.
I predict that as the public discovers this series, many readers will become avid collectors, excitingly awaiting each new volume in the set.
