This is another, absolutely beautifully written chapter for your book. It was a joy to listen to, as I was reading along with it. I wish you the very best, and I am amazed at the amount of work that you put into writing
Each of your chapters. Have a good day and God bless. Patricia.

Comment from BethShelby
This is excrllernt writing as usual. I'm not sure I understand why Fee would need to kill his lawyer since the man was willing to help him. I little surprised that something did allert Sally or King when she gave money to hime thinking he was homeless. Fee is totally evil so I'm anxious to find how how he will eventually be captured.

Thank you for the excellent review and comments. Fee is a killer and uses people to get what he wants. Unfortunately, Lou Crenshaw didn't see that. Sending you my best today as always,

Comment from Cindy Warren
I kind of felt sorry for the lawyer. Of course, he should have seen it coming. A lawyer should know men like Elling don't have friends, they have flunkies, and when said flunky is no longer useful, he's likely to be eliminated.

This is a really great chapter you have penned. You used great descriptive words and very good dialogue. This is going to be sad to tell the man's wife that he has been murdered. Great dialogue too! love and blessings, Teri

Comment from Jay Squires
Whoa! This is getting tense, Sally. I like the flow of your storyline: the action moves at a fast clip, and that's good.
"... he'd made it through the underbelly of the municipality." [LOL, or through the bowel.]
I do have one problem I'd like to go over with you:
All the while, the soulless Fee didn't consider the photo of the family on the dresser, and the teenage boy and girl he just robbed of their father. [Sally, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that your chapter moves forward quite well without this paragraph. If a character makes the observation, it's acceptable. If the writer does, it's moralizing.]
I do hope you accept this in the spirit in which it was offered. If I can't help you, I don't want to hurt you! I have a lot of respect for your writing. But when it comes to reviewing, I shoot from the hip, so to speak. As a result, I often offer intuitionally derived suggestions ... and just hope that it's well-received -- even if rejected.

Comment from Alexandra Trovato
As usual, I enjoyed reading your excellent work! I particularly like the reference to the upcoming wedding. I am going to have to reread because there were a few storylines. I might separate them on my mind because I've been having a hard time when there are several names. It is quite fun and interesting though. I wish I had a better memory for detail. It's amazing how you keep it all together. Your very creative, my Friend! With love, Alex XOs
I could relate to
Best wishes!

Comment from Father Flaps
Hi Sally,
I guess I shouldn't have been surprised that Fee would murder poor Crenshaw. The sap. Fee only needed him to a certain point. But it seems so foolish of him, first to approach Sally and King. Sally, with keener senses, might have smelled a putrid odor or noticed his voice. But later on, after he had killed Lou Crenshaw, he also took his blue Volvo back into Aspen Grove. And Lou had told him that there was an APB out for him. Fee seems to be pushing his luck, when he should be escaping the vicinity altogether.
"He slithered through the quiet night like the serpent he was, until he sighted a light on at the local (Parrish)." ... (Shouldn't that be "parish"? )
"I agree! Betty Jo has known Cathy Crenshaw since high school. We'll be (there) in a few, and go from (there)." ... ( I think the second sentence needs to be re-written, Sally, to get rid of one "there".)
I know that Fee has a big hate on for Detective Sally, but why on earth would he come back to Aspen Grove, and spend the night with Father Northam? What's up his evil sleeve? He's stupid for not fleeing the area. If he's caught, he's got another murder to answer for... Lou Crenshaw.
Nicely penned! Can't wait for the next chapter!
Hugs,
Kimbob

Dear Kim, Thank you for the lovely review and generous super stars! The kind improvements are needed and appreciated. I have employed them all. No one else caught the misspelling of parish. I didn't see even see the extra r. Blessing to you always, my friend.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Wow, Sally, this is all action stations! No time to take a breath here. That obnoxious Fee is probably going to kill Father Northam next. And how clever to have that meeting between Fee and your namesake Detective without the latter recognising him! This story is hotting up beautifully. Well done! Debbie x

Comment from davisr (Rhonda)
Oh that Fee...... he's so evil! And he is headed for Sally. I can't believe he killed that poor Public Defender!
The suspense is really building as we see several people heading for a collision course.
One thing I can say, never think you know what's going to happen next in your book!
I would like to apologize for always saying your chapters are too short. They are perfect, I just get so caught up in them that I don't want to stop reading. I understand how long it takes you to write what you do, and I totally enjoy each word of it.
Love and hugs,
Rhonda
