Ben and Sylvia should go by the title of the Crusading Crime Catchers - or something like that:-) I wonder how many more crimes they will solve and souls they will save before they finally reach their home sweet home.
We'll see!

Without an overarching antagonist (Sherlock Holmes' Moriarty) I need to constantly add tension, either from within the church, or without. But never between Ben and Sylvia (smiley face here)
Thank you for your very kind review.
Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
Ben and Sylvia are learning a lot of things that may stand them in good stead if they ever decide to get on the wrong side of the law. They are also smarter than the police who probably would never suspect the bank president.

Thank you. The bank president was probably a good ol' boy.
I appreciate your very nice review.
Comment from Elias Noor
The chapter is engaging and suspenseful, with well-developed characters and a steadily unfolding mystery. Clarifying some backstory details and raising the immediate stakes could enhance the narrative even further.

When the sheriff tells you not to leave town, you'd have to think that you're having to just hang around until charges are brought against you. But never fear, Ben will figure it out. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you. Can't just 'get outta Dodge' just yet.

Interesting developments in the story. Hopefully, Ben will be able to gather the evidence he needs to get out of the mess he is in. Like the conversation you have evolved. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers

Thank you I appreciate the very nice review.

One has to admire them both, for the initiative they show, and their clear thinking. The police on the other hand are not committed to logical reasoning eg wiping the door handle so there's be no fingerrints and then suiciding.

Good detective work. You have a solid chapter, with good pacing. Just a few nits. Nothing major.

Know I'm just jumping in here, so no context... but well written chapter with good dialogue that 's easy to follow. :) Be sure to pop back in there and correct 'outts' in your subtitle... Thanx for sharing and good luck with the book! ;)

Thank you. I'm afraid you popped in toward the very end. Only 8-9 chapters left of a 260,000 word project. But thank you!
