Always nice to see the "gang" of characters you've enchanted us with begin another adventure.

What black hearted creep would dispose of orphans like so much rubbish to spring Doyle and Rossi?

Oh, man... I know you're going to make them pay!

    A very black hearted creep indeed...even worse than Doyle if that's possible. Haven't figured it out yet, but there will be justice for who ever these hoodlums are. And yes, I am thrilled to be back in the groove with the gang.

They're Back. It's a joy and a pleasure to read good writing. I can sit back with a hot cup of tea and enjoy looking in on other people's (and ghost's) lives while listening to them solve a mystery. Your writing style and descriptions trigger all the senses, including sights, sounds, aromas, tastes, and the feeling of the warmth of Donatelli's coffee. I'm in for a joyful ride.

    Oh you make my smile and get warm fuzzies with all your generous praise. I always get "stage fright" when I start a story becuse I don't really know where it is headed...just let the characters lead me down the pages.... hope you don't end up on a cliff! Thanks as always, Lorraine. You are my support system!

I always like Detective Donatelli. There are just some characters who catch my attention and entertain me best, actions, voice, and character. Thanks for sharing.

Nice trick posting the short stories before the prologue. I can't wait to read more.

Donatelli's voice was clipped. "Any bodies yet?" (clipped,)

DeLuca spoke into the phone. "Did you hear all that, Matthew?" (phone,)

She sighed, "Miriam sensed it too." (sighed.)

I suppose when one lives in eternity, everything is transcendent, because there's no longer a sense of time, that belongs to the world of mortals, beginnings and ends, so of course Eleanor and Miriam, plus Dannii, would be in thst place. Well done Carol, blessings Roy

I'm really excited to see you returning to these characters, Carol and I'm looking forward to seeing what adventure you have in store for them next; you've certainly created an intriguing opening here. I really enjoyed reading it. I can't wait for the next chapter.

This is a really good setup for the following chapters. This has, so far, been a great story and one that is hard to stop reading as there is so much going on.

    It's going to be filled with action, Carol. This is another one where you need to fastened your seat belt because we're going to be flying high. Thanks as always,

What an ominous chapter. It seems that it would be impossible to find out how and why the prisoners could have escaped. But using a busload of children to facilitate their escape is the lowest of the low. Shows they are totally evil, and without any conscience. Well written.

    Yes, the men behind this escape are going to be the worst of the worst....they will deserve whatever happens to them. I hate writing sad stuff but it is out there now and hopefully we can get past most of it. Thanks so much, Wendy.

    As long as you enjoy the story, I am thrilled, Teri. Sure everyone likes sixes, but I am well aware there are only so many.... knowing that you and others enjoy my work means far more.

    Thank you so much, Teri. You don't know how much that means to me right now.

It takes me a while to catch up on the characters so your list is a very helpful addition. Whoever is behind this breakout of Doyle and Rossi has no conscience or humanity so it's great to read that the team is getting together with ideas being exchanged. No corrections needed and an intriguing read, Carol, ending on an excellent hook. Well done! Debbie

    I am thrilled that you are joining in on the story from the beginning. I probably won't be posting as quickly as I did before but with these characters one never knows. They get under my skin and into my mind and away we go....fasten your seat belts because it will be a wild ride. Thanks so much, Debbie. I hope you enjoy it.
