A good mystery well written.
It had me riveted.
Watch that Begin Again. She may walk away with the prize for the contest.
She looks crafty and quite capable.
I enjoyed reading this piece.
Wish you good luck.

Hi Carol,

I read this piece, good dialog, nice descriptions. I liked the balance of tags and action tags here.


He I(i)gnored her question. "Why are you here this weekend?"



The (d)Detective smiled and moved to the next chair where another gorgeous brunette nibbled on her lower lip.
(I think its the old Hello Detective, are you a detective Yes, call me Detective, I am the detective... ? not sure, though)


The detective nodded. (be consistent though)

I read this short piece and it was enjoyable, I knew it was you all along!

fun.

Hullo Begin Again ...

You always manage to have such unexpected endings for your stories and this was no exception. I enjoyed reading what you have written and, because of your descriptive wording, being able to visualise and imagine the whole scene.
There is just one small correction to suggest ...

* You have - attending the writer's convention ...
this should be - the Writers Convention .... and I suggest that you should have a capital letter for Convention wherever the word appears because - that the the NAME of an event that is being held.

Thank you for sharing this with us. As it is a Contest entry, I wish you well.
With love from .. Nanette Mary.

    Anabelle,

    Thanks so much...originally I had all ten writers involved but too many words...I took something from every authors story and used it...I'll have to try again next time. Thanks so much for the wonderful comments. Smiles, Carol

    Should we ask writers if we can use their name? It seems like the right to do. What do you think?

It appears to me you met the rules of the contest very neatly.
Ms. Beginagain is a sneaky old broad.
Lots of luck,

Framed again. That's the story of my life, lol. I enjoyed the action in this story and how you used the characters.

Okay, so there's three possibilities left: Ms. Pelle, Ms. Beginagain and the maid. I think Adina did it! LOL. - John
