Very clever!! Loose ends = sequel potential!! You did a really nice job with this novel, Gretchen. It was fun, it was entertaining, well-thought-out, smart, you kept your characters believable and "in character" throughout. I'm very impressed. Thank you for a really enjoyable romp. When you publish this, I will be buying my own copy for you to autograph. xo

Comment from Brett Matthew West
Appears Miranda's mother is not happy she went to the police station.
"thats when he" should be that's when he
An open-ended book that leaves some viable questions unanswered for a potential sequel.

Yes. The more I thought I was finished with Miranda, the more she informed me I am not. Lol. Thank you for the nice review. Gretchen
Comment from Ric Myworld
Yeah! I've enjoy every chapter and I like that you've left enough open you can go back and pick up to carry things forward if you like. I do that with most everything I write too. Not expecting you to end it so soon, I wish I'd saved a six to reward the last chapter. Bravo! It's been a pleasure. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, Ric. I appreciate that you stuck with me. Much of the time I had no idea where this story was headed. Virtual sixes are awesome as well. Gretchen
Comment from John Ciarmello
If you were inclined to leave any loose ends, it would have to be where in the world is Dougie! What a brilliant way to leave this open-ended.
I have to say, Gretchen, this is a memorable story, and I'm genuinely going to miss Miranda and all the characters that revolved around her to make her the character she became! Missy was the perfect antagonist! An excellent write from the beginning to the end. Best, JohnC

Thank you so much. I am thankful you stuck along for the ride. Thank you so much for this awesome review and the six star. Gretchen
Comment from lancellot
Well, it sounds like Dougie is dead, and his body is hidden, but since he left Miranda and his son, he is as good as dead to them anyway. Good ending. The world and life isn't perfect, especially for Miranda, so not having a perfect, all the answers given ending fits for her character.

Thank you. I'm glad you understood why I left it open. Missy is the type of person who will go through the doors of prison still thinking she has won. Thanks so much for this wonderful review and the stellar rating. Gretchen
Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
This was a great concluding chapter, Gretchen. You gave
readers much info on the important aspects of the novel.
I liked the way it started as a reminder of where Miranda
was--on her 4th day out of the hospital. Of course, she
wouldn't quit her job. However, she realizes now she isn't
invincible. Her momma knew Miranda would follow up and
go see Missy in jail, regardless of anything she (momma) might
have said. Good for Miranda. The lines about the interrogation
room showcased Miranda's strength and gave hints about what
may be in her future. I liked how you left open several tangents
where you could bring Miranda back in focus in another novel.
Thanks for sharing and CONGRATULATIONS on the completion
of this novel.
Best wishes in your publishing endeavors if that is a goal, Jan

Now, you absolutely have to write another novel about Miranda and her friends and enemies. I can see another great novel. There are so many unanswered questions. You have a winner on your hands.

Comment from royowen
Well done, despite the fact that there wouldn't be too many folk that would have any sympathy for someone like Missy, but she's comforted by her nuttiness, still believing she's unbreakable. Tell me did you have a study about narcissists? Well done Gretchen, blessings Roy
Typo : I know it(s) wasn't easy.

I worked with one. I about cried everyday because of the games she played. Never met anyone like that in my life. Figured I needed to figure out how to work with a lying manipulator at work. Started studying then. What I learned was both frightening and amazing. With all that they do, their victims have the power. Once I figured that out, game on. Thank you for sticking with me on this story. Much appreciated. Gretchen

Comment from Jay Squires
You've written a crime/suspense drama with a perfect ending, Gretchen. There is just enough power left in Missy to make the readers' skin crawl. At first, I was disappointed that you didn't have Missy tell Miranda about Dougie ... but then she would have been out of character. Gretchen, you have a dynamite novel here. I hope, truly hope, you try to get it published.

Hi Gretchen, I enjoyed the content here, but there are a few typos as listed below. I hope you don't mind or think I am nit-picking, but your story is worth publication one day, so it would be best to edit these errors before submitting to a publisher. Best wishes.

" .... he took your side ' (remove extra space. Add full stop. Double quotation marks)
