I was hoping Garth and Matthew would find a way to tun into each other without running one another over. (smile) --
The two of them need to smooth things over and I'll bet together they can find get to work solving this case with many moving parts!
I know NOTHING about prose but this sentence jumped out at me as being less than crisp:
"circling the table while Klaus's eyes stared at him."
Dare I suggest we assume it is Klaus's eyes and maybe just say "Klaus stared at him" ---???
(Yikes, I'm out of my league!)
Naomi?
Really?
I need to read on because I didn't suspect her!

You may dare to tread across my story any time you feel like it.... though watch out for bobbie traps or you might fall through to another story waiting in the wings...LOL You are right and its an easy fix. Thank you!
After listening to your story on You Tube...girl .... you don't have to worry about what league you are in...It was awesome!

It's good that Garth is willing to work with Eleanor at least. His parting shot and Danni's reminding Matthew about his drinking problem seems to be softening him. I wonder why he's so adamant about Naomi's innocence. Seems like two men are interested in her .

I think he gave up on Allie and now believes it's a pattern if he gives up on Naomi... his mind is foggy with the alcohol, but that's about to clear up I think.... and maybe a budding romance down the line.

Comment from Esther Brown
Laid some time aside to catch up on your story. Your writing is spoiling my reading...I am reading Nora R. right now but her story seems slow because there is a less complicated plot, less in depth characters, and more love scenes. Just asking, are you published or just writing for the fun of it? Esther

Smiles and hugs, Carol

Good luck. You have plenty of stories...if the first one takes you will do fine.
Comment from BethShelby
This was an interesting exchange. Garth and Donatella aren't exactly best buddies. I don't remember Allie dying of cancer. I don't remember Allie dying. Did Garth have to women he was in love with die? I don't think I remember him and Allie getting married. Maybe I'm mixed up. I know that was another story. I should probably stick to this one.

Allie and Garth were engaged in one of the stories, but I never intended her to be in any of these so I needed to write her out before my readers started asking for her.

Yes, that stiff posture has a way of showing exactly what's on a person's mind, or what isn't. There are always plenty of suspects in any crime. :-) Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Wendy G
Donatelli needs to quit the booze, Garth needs to stop provoking him, and the two need tomake a decision to work together for the ultimatebenefit of all and to get justice sorted and crimes solved!! Well written. Very dramatic, as always.

Edits: Has he asked for council? (Should this be "counsel"?)
"Who's side are you on? Letting that guy waltz in here like he owns the place." ("whose")

He will soon and I think I will introduce a love life or at least the beginnning of one to help change his mood. And as soon as I can get him sitting down with Garth on neutral ground, I think they will work things out. At lest that's the plan.

Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
Donatelli and Woodman just don't like each other, and yet they are very alike, determined to solve crimes and keep people safe. Maybe a good steak could make them see each other in a different light.

I think that steak and some talk...even if Eleanor has to get into the act...is going to get them on the right track to solving this case.

Comment from royowen
I think the main event seems to be how badly Donateli and Garth don't get on, Garth is way too cool for Donateli, but that can be fixed, there is obviously things connected with the two cases, but Donstelli is overemotional and His drinking doesn't help beautifully written Carol, blessings Roy

They are about to mend fences and things will get better for Donatelli in many ways... He just has to open his heart and listen. Thanks so much, Roy.

I do hope Mattew and Garth work things out. I think they could work great with each other and have some wonderful tales to tell. I'd enjoy reading.

I think Matthew and Garth will get together soon....right after Donatelli gets done interrogating Klaus and Johan. He shoul find out some interesting information.

Well your story is certainly racing along now. It's a real hotch-potch of characters who are interacting with each other in most unexpected and interesting ways. I look forward to reading about Donatelli calming down especially. kay

Donatelli is about to patch things up with Garth and that will be much better for both of them. They both have broken hearts and fighting will never bring Allie back. They need to work together.
