Comment from Sally Law
Great chapter, my friend. It looks like Pharmaceutical Phil is a prime suspect. He had means (drugs aplenty) and opportunity. There are so many lethal drugs not detectable by the coroner. I'll wait and see what the slething seniors reveal.
Typo: fine-tooth comb.
Sending you my best today as always, dear D, and best wishes for the book.

Appreciate the assistance! And the support!!!
Comment from Wendy G
Nancy does have snippets of information but she will be a liability. They could have worked out the floor plan themselves as it doubtless reflects the floors below. And now what is Art up to? And will Hattie fall for him? Well done. A fine read.

Thanks for a fine review, Wendy!
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Alliteration still reigning supreme I see! Hattie' sreally got her work cut out here. It's like herding cats! But room 413 is a pretty good starting place. I wonder what Art Antica is up to? When you start the para: The smaller framed man.... who is he smaller than? Do you just mean: The small framed man...?
Also Pharmaceutical Phil... Oh my (?) is right
Confusing at times but an enjoyable read. Well done, Doug! Debbie

Comment from royowen
I love the complexity of working out who, why and when a suspect comes into focus in the light of absolute evidence, it is very clever writing these, my brain fades badly when I try to 'unconfuse' things. Heh heh, well done Douglas, blessings Roy

Comment from Wayne Fowler
"I'm in, too!"
Who doesn't like a 'Who Dunnit?' story?
This is very well written, and very creative, too.
Whoever gets to room 413, I hope they have a plan to get back out.
Great work.

Comment from barbara.wilkey
This is a good chapter, just remember show not tell. I enjoy this story.
If they catch me I'll just play confused. (comma after 'me')
Hattie was surprised. (Instead of telling us she was surprised. Show us, what did her eyes do, did they widen?? There are numerous ways to show surprise.)

Comment from Tom Horonzy
You have me on the edge of my seat thinking what the author will come up with next. Another murder is in the making? An overdose or two. An unfettered romance with Art? You know, so tell us.

Comment from BethShelby
You're characters are taking on interesting personalities. The story is fun to read and these ladies are having something to keep them busy. I find it amusing that Hattie is finding a man she has seem a bit exciting. I am supprised the Nelly wanted to be a part of this group so badly. She may be a lot of help with their mystery.

Comment from Begin Again
Way to go, Doug! Get those ladies to put on their thinking caps and figure out exactly what happened. They might have to worry about Nosey Art, though, unless he's just interested in Hattie. He could be a problem! Enjoyed another chapter!
