That was fab.u.los!!!! Love, love, love it!!! You start with Eleanor's visit with Garth, that was soooo funny! It didn't take much to convince him she was a ghost. Lol. Loved the drink bit.
Then we go and see Margaret deciding to go to the Soup Kitchen to honour Eleanor, and she meets an old flame. I was so pleased to see that she actually enjoyed helping these people, and the money she has to help the charity, will be wonderful.
Then we get to Danny phoning Judge! This is one of your best, Carol. I really loved it. Well done. On to the next one. Lots of love. Sandra xxxx

    Thank you so much Sandra. You have no idea how much that meant to me. I think some of my best writing in coming out in the end of this novel. I am having fun and loving it..not just writing to be writing. Thank you so much for the stars but better yet for your enjoyment.
    Smiles and love, Carol

So the judge is as crooked as Eleanor is saying. I'm really looking forward to that meeting and what will come out of it. I know, I read chapter 20 before this. But I have at least caught up. I love this story. Hugs, Ulla xcx

Hi Carol,
Just found a chapter I missed. I was able to read without it, but it was good to go back and get some background I had missed on how Garth got involved and got an understanding of why Eleanor was involved.

Hugs,
Rhonda

    Garth is the FBI and anything international like the art theft ring and human trafficking goes through him. He's been in many of my stories. And Eleanor was the artist as well as the Aunt of Megan. Hope that clears things up...Thanks for checking out the chapter.

Reading backwards then again forwards like I usually do. This was good. Ghostly interference is a lovely theme. Eleanor must have been quite the mischievous creative passionate woman. Esther

    I am enjoying the ghost story which I didn't think I would. How the heck can you follow the story if you read it backwards. Hope the "bike" ride was a good one.

Heh. Heh. Good one. Meet him at an abandoned warehouse, personally...and oh right, cash only. That doesn't sound like a recipe for disaster for the judge!

The bigger the are the harder they fall.

So, there's so much to love about this chapter and Eleanor (aka "Ellie")
is the spunkiest ghost ever, but I'll bet you know what my favorite lines were here:

"Yes, I'm dead, and you are talking to a ghost. And before you go all FBI on me, let me tell you that I know things you don't know about this case. I'm here to help."

"Before you go all FBI on me"

Score one for the author!

I'm LOVING this!

Karenina

    Funny how I loved that line too! I never thought I would enjoy writing a ghost story as much as I have this one. Too bad I couldn't figure out a series where Eleanor and Garth were teamed up. Wouldn't that be a riot?

    Wow. Now THAT could be a whole series of books! "The Spirit and the Stud"--

    (Did I just type that?)

    Blushing...but I mean it!

I like the both Veraci and Donatelli are on board, and Garth now knows far than He knew before about Doyle and about Eleanor's murder, but I don't know how he knew Doyle was a crook, and sometimes people go by appearances, beautifully written Carol, blessings Roy

    He;s been an FBI agent for many years, Second only to the Director...he works a lot on gut instinct. I like the fact that it shows that people from all walks of life can work together if they try.

Tomorrow night at 10, Judge Doyle will be welcomed by Garth Woodman and Matthew Donatelli. Thanks to Eleanor, Danny Vetaci was instrumental in bringing the two together. Knowing you, this won't quite wrap things up. Megan has to be found, and there should be consequences for Jackson Mayfield, the art gallery owner. I'm glad Margaret visited the soup kitchen and found an old friend.

    And the letters have much more to reveal and then there will be the time to say goodbye to Dylan and Eleanor. Lots more to cover and the clocks ticking.

Sounds like you have a plan here. I'm loving this ghost story of yours. It is a more light-hearted read than the first story. Eleanor is a fun-loving, unique individual.

    I like this one very much too. I love the light heartedness of it. Eleanor is a hoot! That's how I would like to be if I ever got to be a ghost. LOL

Well, the stage is set and we might be about to see some justice achieved. Of course, with you showing the story, there might be plenty of dips and bends before we get there. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

    Justice is about to let the hammer fall but of course the Judge won't go quietly. there's a few more things in the works. Thank you as always for the awesome comments and the glittery stars. Eleanor and I are having fun!

Amusing interactions between Garth and Eleanor as they share a drink together. But she's filling him in. And Danny's plan to entrap the judge might work, so long as the judge is not in the mood for killing! Well written.

    I think I've got the ball rolling and it's picking up speed now. The three guys and Eleanor should blow the judge out of the water.
