She passed out in the lift? LOL I so enjoyed reading this. All these entries are so delightful. Well written Carol. The ending is classic. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from CKLA
I hope you had as much fun writing that as I did reading it. My guess would be that you made yourself the killer. Excellent entry. I wish you luck.

Comment from chaswriter
Carol - We know it's not John or Lola. That leaves us with BeginAgain, the maid, and Adina. But I assume the comment of "the makings of a new best seller" must mean it's a writer, so the maid is out. Adina's earring was found in Malone's suite. And other evidence point to Lola and John. But there is no evidence on BeginAgain, so it must be her.

Comment from MercyWrites
I love your cosy mystery, and I like that you use your Fanstory's name. Good humor throughout the story. My only nitpick, I spotted the same word use very close together. Her teary eyes met the detective's before she lowered "them," dabbing "them" with a Kleenex. I was thinking maybe taking one of the words out and using something more specific. Her teary eyes met the detective before she lowered her eyelashes, dabbing them with a Kleenex.

Comment from Judian James
OH, what fun. You left us hanging. I'm on the poetry side, so I only know a few of the top ten in prose. This was so much fun. Well written and Thesis is a devil in disguise, I guess ... excellent

Comment from flygirl254
This is a very cute little story, and nicely put together. It has a good flow, with paragraph breaks and line lengths that allow the reader to have a nice rhythm that keeps them going through to the end. I like that you use dialogue to keep things moving along, so that you are showing us what's happening through action rather than telling us what's happening through narration. You've given us a very funny conclusion as well. Great work! Good luck in the contest!

Comment from sgalletti
Hi Carol! Reminds me of my recent six days on a jury in a criminal trial (for real!) about a man who assaulted two others with a semi-automatic weapon. But, this was much more fun! Extremely well written with a great punch line. Sue

Sue,
Oh, that would have been a bit frightening I think...I'll stick to killers on paper if allowed. Smiles to you, Carol

The maid in the broom closet with a machette, just waiting around for her boss.

Someone has to do the reading..:) Actually, I've been too busy on the farm to do much writing lately, maybe in a couple of weeks I'll have a little more time. Until then, I'll just enjoy yours :)
