Barbara,
I'm running behind, but I finally got here. *smile* Looks like a good post, and I'm with these characters, something is smelly in Denmark. Yuck. There's no excuse for finding a cell phone LATER at a crime scene.
I did pause when Mac said she had never considered robbery before, though. That's kinda basic, isn't it??
Thanks!

Depends on the circumstances. I appreciate you dropping by and leaving this kind review.
Comment from Sylvia Page
An easy flow dialogue in this chapter, with some headway in finding a phone. That does not mean it is 'THE PHONE' I doubt they can scrutinize it as they might lose any fingerprints it may have. Found a typo...
Why were they (were) meeting? /Why were they meeting?
Best,
Sylvia

Comment from Gail Denham
Nice chapter - makes sense - brings in the small things which makes it come real. Sounds like an interesting and intense book - glad you're coming along to the finish. Good job.

Comment from Dawn Munro
"McKenzie rubbed her stomach." ...
...then later (again) she 'rubbed her tummy'. It's also been an action mentioned in previous chapters, so my suggestion is that it's overdone. Maybe leave it out where you can? (Too "cute" ?)
Otherwise, the story is progressing wonderfully. Very realistic, although I would like to see a bit more of Logan's grief, like his mentioning she was his "baby sister".

Logon is delta force trained, showing emotion isn't his thing. Thank you for the kind review.

You're welcome.
Comment from CrystieCookie999
This is a good chapter. I think the dialogue is so realistic that I almost felt like I was there listening to real people. I noticed in the recap of the preceding chapter the line: She's a total junk food junkier
and that I think you mean 'junkie' and not 'junkier.' But other than that, it seemed like very clean writing. It makes me wonder how this will all turn out! Finding a cell phone seems like it will be a big help somehow, since more than 25% of the chapter here is emphasizing it.

Comment from judiverse
Mac and Logan are working together pretty well in this scene. Probably because Logan is feeling guilty and thinks he could have looked after her better, but it sounds like Megan must have been making some bad choices. The crime scene doesn't look very carefully preserved. The results of the autopsy haven't been released yet. A phone is found, but Mac doesn't think it was Megan's. It certainly looks like there was a cover up, and at this point Mac doesn't know who to trust. She trusts Jose but wonders who else in the police department she can trust. Lots of suspense and questions in this. Great work. judi

Thank you for the kind review. Mac's job is getting harder and harder.

You're very welcome. It's really going to get involved if the police are covering up for some reason. They certainly haven't done a good investigation. judi

You certainly have more questions than answers in this chapter but, the way McKenzie and Logan are now getting on, they'll make a formidable pair to crack this complicated case.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Excellent chapter, and not too long at all. Now they have this black phone, I wonder if it does have anything to do with Megan's murder, or if it was just dropped by someone accidently. And, what are the police hiding? There are lots of questions needing answers. Let's hope Mac knows someone on the case who is trustworthy. Well done, my friend. :)) Sandra xxx
I'm so sorry it jumped to the 3 stars instead of staying on the 6. I can only give you a five now, which is so annoying. I owe you one! xxxx

Another good chapter as always. I am so glad I get to do a couple of reviews and bump us both up some notches. Geoff will have some Rambles chapters up in a day or so. Got an idea from Robyn Corum for the Index to help you all get to particular chapters you are interested in. I tried HTML links but they would not work.

Comment from Sankey
Good to see you and Ulla back again. You both had me worried that you had beat me to the exit! You are both such good reading. I will miss it. Now for spags and suggestions. An (un??)easy silence ...did you mean it that way?
Why were they [were] meeting?
