Interesting! A handful of duos have some serious surprises ahead! Alejandro and Jose are enjoying their dream--but nothing is going to be easy as accessing a safe deposit box. There are hard lessons to be learned there!

The mentor/mentee relationships between Eleanor and Danni are, interestingly, uncovering that even the spirit world has rules !

And of course, our two macho men...
Both battling demons, neither ready or willing to cede to the other... But you've introduced the concept of a truce...perhaps even a partnership!

Your dialogue is priceless. I love being a fly on the wall taking this all in!

    Alejandro and Jose are standing in the wings as we speak.... A lot of action is going to go down and most of it isn't going to be good. And Eleanor and Danni (she's a lot like Matthew with a slight chip) will be a good team.

    then of course we have Garth and Matthew...what's not to like about those two? They are going to work through this one way or the other if Eleanor has anything to say about it.

    Oh, I'm counting on Elanor stomping her ghostly feet until those two stubborn men get with the program!

That was a chilling section between Alejandro and Jose. It made me wonder just how they're going to achieve their aims and if they will succeed. I'm really excited to find out. Another excellent chapter, Carol. I'm looking forward to the next one.

    It's not going to be as easy as Jose and Alejandro think it will be...but then nothing ever is. I am excited that you are interested in the outcome.

Good that Carlos overheard his son and his plans. I can't see that impersonating Beckett will be an easy job for Alejandro. It does sound positive that Garth and Matthew are at last starting to talk together. They so need to work together on this. Well written.

    Jose and Alejandro will discover nothing goes as easy as they plan. And Garth and Matthew are about to settle their differences and discover maybe they aren't so far apart after all. Just posted Chap 23... hope you enjoy.

The six-pack of beer sounds like a good sign. Perhaps Donatelli and Garth will finally make peace and work together. Hopefully, they can also resolve their past problems, too. It's good that Eleanor can cheer Danni on.
Your "Powers that Be" reminds me of Sandra Mitchell's "powers" that are authorities over her time-traveling heroines.

    I forgot about Sandra's "powers". I didn't know what to call a council that decided what ghosts could do or not do so I just called the powers that be.... thanks for the review amd comments. I appreciate it very much.

This work has reached the exceptional level

You have poured so much spiritual understanding into this story, and funnily enough, everything you're writing is only supporting this on factor, the reconciliation of Donatelli and Woodman, everything else is superfluous to, not that the rest isn't important, but that's what interests me, well done, blessings Roy

    Wow! Thank you so so much, Roy! I think you will enjoy the next chapter then, because the two will finally discuss what they have been feeling... I hope I can get it right with their emotions. I am thankful that you see the spirtual connection within my stories. That makes me feel great! Thank you so much for all your kindness.

Hmmm, I'm wondering what Carlos has in mind for his son, to teach him a lesson. That can't be good for Jose. Then there's Donatelli and Garth; how will they mend fences to solve this case? Lots happening in this good chapter, with lots of good dialogue. Looking forward to the next. Hugs! Carol

    Thanks, Carol...Yes, things are starting to spin off in so many directions and a peace treated between Donatelli and Garth might help wrap up a few things. thanks for reading and reviewing. As always, I appreciate your thoughts.

    I don't know how you keep all these plot threads in order in your writing. You're an amazing writer!

This chapter is jam packed with new information. I'm glad Carlos was able to overhear his son's foolish plans to become so rich he owns world. (He sounds like a child). I'm glad Eleanor and Danni are developing a teacher-trainee relationship. And finally, I'm glad Donatelli and Garth may be willing to work together to solve the murders. We still have a way to go. There are lots of loose ends to resolve, and I'm looking forward to watching you dissolve each one.

    And if I miss one of those loose ends, be sure to tell me, please. Smiles and pretty please! Piece by piece I think we are pulling this story together but there is still more to come...thanks as always for being there for me.

    Just posted a short story..my mind was wandering down memory lane I guess. Hope you enjoy it!

That is so true, showing up is important, and a major step forward. I think Garth and Matthew will make up now, here where their memories of Allie will finally put ill-feeling to rest. I'm glad Carlos heard what his son was planing and has set a tail on Alejandro. I hope they get the papers from him and get them to the proper place. Those papers could do so much good in the right hands. This is really hotting up, Carol, and I am enjoying it so much! Love you lots, Sandra xxxx

    There's a lot more excitement to come as well..Because we all know in my stories nothing goes as planned. LOL We are headed in the right direction though.

    Just posted a short story...I was walking a different path this morning, but all is well. I hope you enjoy it.

I'm hoping Garth and Matthew make peace. I can see great stories with them working together. They will still have disagreements, because of their personalities, but still work together.

What was I supposed to do ?" (minor, but move the question mark closer to 'do?" ')

Danni laughed, "And here I was, hoping to see some fireworks." (laughed.)

    I would have swore (forgive me) that I corrected that one. I think the ghosts are having fun with my mind. LOL I hope the two men make peace as well... they could accomplish so much together.
    thanks as always, Barbara,

    I have felt the same way at times. I knew I had made the correction but it's still there. I'm sure sometimes gremlins come in and change things

Great job again. Your writing has strong dialogue and descriptions that brings your characters and scenes to life. I was impressed by how you show the little deails of each characters. Carlos's quiet tension and Jose's bold plans. This was very enjoyable. Well written. I'm excited to see how everything comes together in the next part of your story!

    What a pleasure to see you again, Michael. I missed you at my birthday celebration and so many of our friends were there. i'm sure you would have enjoyed meeting a few of my dear characters as well. LOL

    Thank you so much for your kindness and comments on the characters. My hope is that they become almost three dimensional (but not necessarily friends) to my readers. Eleanor is a favorite... someone I would like to be if I were a ghost... though not just yet thank you.

    I appreciate your review, your time, and your thoughtful comments. You are so kind.
    Smiles, Carol
