Sally, I thought that with Fee's arrest, you had ended the story. It was good, but your Epilogue makes me want to move to Aspen Grove. :) Read it, and loved it just correct this typo. "Lieutenant Miles Jean-Baptiste, and his wife, Suzy, are looking for an home" Thank you for sharing. Bless you all in Angel Country.

    Thank you for the lovely review and generous stars, dear poet. I always do an eplilogue to tie up the story. I had a lot of characters in this one. Thank you, again, my friend. I am blessed.

I hate seeing this story end. All of your novels are extremely good, but I honestly believe this is your best. Thank you for sharing it with us and good luck with the publishing.

I had never seen the likes of this warrior angel, and answer to my desperate prayers. (and the answer)

    Thank you, Barbara! Some one just gave me a two on purpose! I appreciate you and the wonderful six. You're a doll and so supportive. Love and blessings.

    You've got to be kidding. I checked her out, she joined in May, and it seems you the first person she reviewed. I would mention it to Tom. That's not at all right.

    Thank you, Barbara. No, my best protection is to mute her, which I did. She doesn't have manners, and I can't fix that. Hopefully she will learn over time. Bless you, dear.

Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted

The first few paragraphs were intriguing and then we got somewhat lost in the long list of names. It was difficult to follow and connect the dots. Perhaps, because it is out of context. Also, compared to how much attention was given to all the other named characters, it felt that the loss of a daughter was not portrayed as the deepest part of the story.

    This is an epilogue! What an insult to a top ranked author. Please learn your reviewing manners! My god!

This was quite a story. There was a lot of characters in this one. I don't remember an angel in any your books I've read. In the epilogue you allowed the leading to do a recap of all that happened and tell a bit about each character. I enjoyed reading it. Congratulation on having so many books out there. You are amazing.

    Thank you for the excellent review and kind comments, my friend. I always have an eplilogue as my crime mysteries generally have a lot of characters. My new novella, Murder By Chocolate, will not. The first chapter was posted in June (in a first chapter contest) and required 2000 words. Chapter Two has about 800 words. It is more in the vein of a Miss Marple or Sherlock Holmes, and the chapters will be much shorter.
    Sending you my best today as always.

A cumulative 6 for you Sally, for the cumulative effect of your brilliant detective story, and for the amazing work you are doing in bringing your stories to the blind and partially sighted, as well as featuring a blind person in the stories, which must be so inspiring for the readers.
