I think she should have corrected the word "tits". That word bothers me. I think it is a belittling word. Like calling a pregnant woman a "Baby Factory." Okay, off the soapbox. I am still loving this story.

Miranda says it like she sees it. Disrespect is her pet peeve. I personally don't like that word either, but I doesn't bother Miranda. Lol. Thanks for this. Gretchen

Okay, I admit I missed the first book. It sounds like Miranda likes playing private investigator and is going to help Rita by checking out if Bill is stepping out on her. Also, we know she is working on her own mystery. She certainly has a full plate.

Miranda is nosy as well as investigative. Lol. But she doesn't gossip. Thanks so much for this. Gretchen
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
So Miranda is a bit of a sleuth? This should be good. She has two cases to work on, neither commissioned, but she'll do it anyway. I'm afraid I agree with Miranda about Rita's hubby, Bill. Rita has to find out the hard way, I suppose. It's alright people saying, 'Why didn't you tell me?' when your friend finds out you knew. Been there done that! I couldn't look my friend in the eye when she asked me. Men can be bastards at times. Another enjoyable chapter, my friend. Well done! :)) Sandra xx

Well, this sounds like the many cases of cheating that we hear about every morning at the diner to disrupt those eggs, bacon, and onion laced hash-browned potatoes. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Miranda sounds like a though lady. I feel bad for Rita. My exhusbald cheated on me too but I didn't stay quiet and I dug and dug until I found the truth. He had an affair with a married where from work.
Sometimes I wonder if we would still be married if I kept silent.
I hope Miranda kicks Rita's husband butt.
Wonderful story...very intriguing and engaging. Well done.

Poor Rita. I can't wait to find out what's going on there. I really get a smile out of Mitch and Miranda's relationship. This is a good read.
I just laid there in my bed, next to that deceitful bastard, all wrapped up in a blanket of lies. (bed, beside that)

Comment from royowen
I think despite the difference between Miranda and Rita, I think, because she's basically a solid friend and faithful type of person, she's concerned. What is up with Bill? Mr ordinary. This looks like another mystery to solve, beautifully written, blessings Roy

Miranda loves a mystery. A trailer park Nancy Drew. Lol. Glad you enjoyed it. Gretchen

Welcome
Comment from Rachelle Allen
Hmm. I love all the different parts that are percolating simultaneously: Missy writes to Miranda from prison (that's fabulous!), the MIL gets socked (one can never have too many residual feelings of schadenfreude where MIL's are concerned. I know this from my own trove of delights in that area...), and now Bill's strange nocturnal behavior. Yep; I remain intrigued! Very good work, Gretchen.
Also, these two parts I consider absolute stand-out writing:
* I just laid there in my bed, next to that deceitful bastard, all wrapped up in a blanket of lies.
* I want to tell her it's not love if you have to look the other way.
Your writing, which I have always loved, just grows better and better and better. xo

Well, thank you. I will have to drive to work with the window down and my head out because these compliments are making my head too large. Lol. I do appreciate this. Gretchen

Comment from BethShelby
I enjoyed this chapter. It like getting a glimpse into another that always has something going on. No unlike most of our lives. It almost reads like non fiction. I'll look forward to her trying to solve these mysteries.

Comment from Wayne Fowler
Very interesting. Excellent dialogue.
Waylon sounds very authentic. Sounds as if you've really had conversations with young men (boys).
Best wishes.

Three sons. Food first, conversation filled with cringe worthy info and inappropriate humor. Loved every minute of it. Thank you for this nice review. Gretchen

He clutches the over sized tool

This is the way the sentence appears on my screen. I 'bout left my seat, so surprised at your word choice. Then I moved on to the next line and gave myself a good tongue lashing.

You just made the image that much funnier. Thank you for that! Lol. Gretchen
