A Soul That Holly Healed
A letter from a murder5 total reviews
Comment from JoannaN
This was a good read. The first part, the description of police visit is believable and well written. The next part, the letter, is truly creepy. The murderer seems to be an educated, well-mannered person, which makes the matter even more creepy.

It does indeed.

Okay Author,
It's sick, purely twisted, and truly horrifying. It would be horrid enough to lose a child in that way, but to get a letter like that afterward... Holy Crap! I'd lose my mind... along with everything else. There's a family man living right there, in the neighborhood, someone right nearby. Someone with a family who goes to all the games at school, who's been watching since the mom was a girl! Did they 'grow up' together? That's frightening!
Author, I'd freak out so totally and completely, that I'd be selling my house and moving to the middle of the country, without neighbors! Hermit City baby!
Good luck with the contest!
Susan :)

Thank you so much for the stars. I found it horrifying that he told the mother she was young enough to have another child and I wrote it. In my mind he would be watching that child too.

This is an excellent story. It's interesting and well written, as well as thought provoking. It left me with a myriad of feelings. While the murderer's intentions in writing the mother might have been good. I have a hard time justifying his audacity in explaining how her daughter's death healed him. I'm not sure how comforting I would find such a confession. Again, great story. (Cured or not, I hope the catch him!)

This is a very good read. I think you nailed down "crazy" pretty good in the letter.
Punctuation here:
We believe so," he paused, "the body matches the physical description of your daughter, and she was wearing the necklace from the picture you gave us."

Good contender. Best of luck!

Your story is different and very creative. The ending was a surprise, yet not a surprise. The story is skillfully written, and I could envision every scene. The dialogue is great. Best of luck in the contest.
