Paragraph 16: "very funny, (gus)..[guys]
I'm starting to have trouble keeping my head around all the facts. You must have to have all the details carefully written out, to stay on track. I certainly would. Giddy

Comment from Joan E.
I'm sorry to hear the flu got you--I've avoided over the years since getting vaccinated annually. Take care not to relapse with a secondary infection. I liked the way the chapter opened with a literal "bang" and Mac "panting"--good energy and attention grabbing. My first thought too was that Dad was the culprit--we shall see... Hugs- Joan

Yes, you shall see. I am feeling much better and sadly, flu shots down here are very hard to get. I am pleased you like this chapter. I hope to post another tomorrow.
-
Maybe you could time a visit back to the States to get a flu shot next season--even our drug stores give them for $25. Wow, you must be feeling better to post another chapter right away. Cheers- Joan

I wrote it with a migraine headache...now that's desperation!

Ouch! But it did not show. Happy holiday weekend- Joan

This was a very interesting read again show casing the lead
brains behind the investigation while also continuing to spot light the strongest/smartest member of the Mathews family,"James",who proves every time his intent on getting to the bottom of the truth about his dad and the murders he
committed....Job well done my friend....Cranial Thinker

Comment from Margaret Snowdon
Not knowing what Alfina knows,
is such a problem.... I
wonder what she's hiding. Is she
trying to protect someone?
Mac quickly responded[,](;) Only someone - and lower "o"
credibility is shaky at best(.)"
Snohomish Pooice - Police
Sure thing, Tom.(")

Hi Smurphy
A short, sharp chapter that reveals even more of the dark family history.
It's impossible to think what else could have happened to them. They leave Shakespeare's tragic families way behind.

Finding out whether Alfina knew it was her son or not is the key. Not knowing what she knows is a real problem now. I am pleased you enjoyed this chapter.
-
never thought about that but why would she hide that someone else killed him if she didn;t know it was him? Not knowing would have caused her more fear because she wouldn't know if that someone might come back again and find her to kill her..but I just would find it hard for her not to know, really in her heart..tyhe sound of his voice, etc....I guess I wait until tonight to find out. type girl, type..I anxiously await the next chapter. God bless.

GOOD, CRISP DIALOGUE AND ALONG WITH THE CHARACTERS HELPED MOVE THE PLOT ALONG. YOU INTRODUCED CONFLICT THAT ONE OF THE PROTAGONIST WOULD EVENTUALLY HAVE TO CONFRONT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. TO HELP ME WITH THE STORY, WHO IS DARK?
USED MY SIX RATING FOR YOU, UNTIL TWENTY SOME ODD DAYS FROM NOW. ENJOYED THE READ.
the Snohomish Pooice (POLICE) get to her
TAKE CARE,

Thanks for catching the spag. Dark (see list of character) is John Mathews's father Adian Propescu.
Comment from words
James' life history is so dark.
Murder,rape, incest, patricide, this is about as bad as it gets.
If I were him, I do think that as soon as this is all over, I would head for the nearest airport and never ever look back.
Engrossing read , as always.
Hugs, d

That is what many families do. Many break up over differences in feelings about the father. Glad you enjoyed this chapter.
Comment from CALLAHANMR
Hi Valerie:)
this is a short chapter that examines and summarizes what James, Mac and Mr. Hurley know about grandmother and Dark's death. One thing appears certain. From the M.E.s report, Grandmother was not strong enough to have delivered the fatal stab wounds.
Did James father kill his own father. If so, why did Grandmother lie about and what was John Mathews' motive.
Will their investigation show another murder for James' father.
I'm ready to find out.
Love and Irish Hugs,
Roger

You got it right. Grandmother has a lot of questions to answer. Hopefully they will get what they need from her. Thanks for the great review.
