Hi Valerie:)
Another great chapter. Now it appears certain that Grandmother's testimont before a jury will put more nails in john Mathews coffin.
One question/ Did James misspeak when he said, I paused to take another sip of milk. "I honestly think Dad thinks Grandmother is dead. I also think that Marie Anne was Dad's first victim and the only one he knew." Wasn't Dark his first murder and another victim that Dad knew?
Love and Irish Hugs for you again.

Yes, but I was referring to the Belltown murders. I should go back and clarify that. Thanks for pointing that out.
Comment from psalmist
This chapter made me smile. I find Angela's character to be true to her name, an angel. We need more forgiving, compassionate people like her in our world. I also like that rather than turn away in disgust and horror, James has embraced his grandmother, even taken pride in looking somewhat like her. Well done. Linda

Thank you. I wanted to bring something positive into the dark story and Angela was the perfect person to use to help the family recover from the tragedy they have endured. I am pleased you liked this one.

'Putting The Puzzle Together' is a chapter that shows promising progress with moving the case to trial. Good dialogue between James and Mr. Hurley, Sasha.
add is: "That (is) a question we will have to ask her.

Sasha,
Angela and Alfina have surprisingly become close allies. This is a short chapter that's magnificantly written. I immensely enjoy your great narrative voice and excellent detailed writing. Your story paints strong imagery in the readers head as the chapter unfolds. I'd recommend chapter forty-three to others to reviewers as a 'must' read. I bid you a teriffic Tuesday. By the way, I penned a poem in your honor. Check out my latest two postings. Love ya.
Melissa.

Hi Smurph,
Another well written and interesting chapter. I think James may become the victim of an ulcer. The fear and anger hits his gut with vengeance. I know how that feels as I tend to keep troubles, grief and fear deep inside me and that is the makings of an ulcer! Every time I read a chapter in this book I can't wait to see what happens next and this one is no exception. Well done...blessings, chey

Another great chapter. GThis is such an interesting book. I am thoroughly enjoying it. Angela is such an angel and such a help in bringing grandmother into this century.
For some reason, your author's notes are all messed up. Guess Evil Eddie is up to his tricks again.
