I really enjoyed your story and was able to catch on quickly to the character development without having read any previous chapters. I noticed that there was one sentence that might have an error, "Logan stood and waited. "Just get them." I believe you meant to say Just get in and I thought I would point it out. I also really loved how you used dialogue tags sparsely.

    He told her to get the keys from his pocket and McKenzie hesitated. So Logan told her, "Just get them." meaning the keyes

"Where ever he wants to." (Wherever?)

I have a question. Do you know the ending of the novel when you begin writing it? I would love to try one sometime. A well written chapter, my friend~Debbie

    Thank you for the review. Yes, I do know the ending before I write, or so I think. This novel, I had an ending planned, but it changed. It had the same idea, but the exact ending did change.

I've been reading your work for ten years. A quick observation...you like dogs! I had to smile when Mckenzie said she would pick the dog up. 145 pounds of dead weight? Don't think so.

Great chapter to your book about her dog being shot with a horse tranquilizer. Glad to see that he will recover fully. I like reading about animals in stories as long as they're not abused. Bill

The dialogue is good, realistic and in it we get Logan's emotional attachment to her dog. We see her wringing her hands as the vet examines him; a nice touch to the scene. We also get lots of personality in the dialogue; we see the humor of the vet, as he talks about the dog being too heavy to lift for him, the trust between owner and dog. The crime scene part was mysterious, as it should be. There's a good element of suspense in the air. estory

This read fine, it was easy to follow and flowed, I did not spot any errors, and it was a detailed scene with the sick dog and concerned owners. Good luck with future chapters.

WOW! This a long story, over a thousand words. I'm not much
a dog lover, not wvcen a animal pet lover for that matter, I believe in seeing eye guide animals and guard dogs for children and old people and also farm working dogs for cattle and sheep; but I have no problem with othrs, like in your story being attached dogs etc. Anyway looking forward to the nxt chapter.

Hi Barbara,
Poor Edgar! A horse tranquilizer! I suppose they wanted to make sure? Well, if I were them, I'd be checking for bugs again. This is ridiculous... and I'd put in Nanny cams so I could keep an eye on my house! The cops are obviously not doing what they should be doing... How many can be in on this???
One little fix:
ransacked... one word

Keep it coming! :)

I was really worried about Edger, I'm so pleased he's alright. Now, let's get those nasties and put them away for life!!!! This was a particularly emotional part, Barbara, and very well written. I think I spotted one nit. Well done, my friend. Stay safe! :)) Sandra xx

I don't think, {He sat.} is part of the conversation, so need end speech tags after wait." and before, "Simon,...

McKenzie pointed. "Edger, wait." {He sat.} "Simon, sit up front. Jose, go over the other side.
