BAM!!! Just like that the trajectory of this story changed. Twist, then turn, then twist again. This was a lively chapter. I love how you introduced the brain disease, this would explain her erratic behavior.
Well, now we have to wait for the next chapter.
God bless and well done, Wendy.

Thank you so much, Steve. I had fun writing this one, but now I feel sorry for Ethan Cole trying to figure out who is guilty of what!
And I am glad it’s not me writing the next chapter. Lol.
Great review. I am so pleased you enjoyed it.

My pleasure, Wendy. I opted in for a chapter, I believe I will be after Jim Wile. Hopefully I'm set up nicely, as this isn't my normal genre.
Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Wow, a very intriguing chapter. That brain disease sounds horrible... poor mama George... but she was not good to ruby. Hopefully Ethan can get to the bottom of it.
Well done, Wendy

Comment from royowen
There really is so mystery going on here, one needs a brain something like Miss Marple or Hercule Poirot, or indeed, a Sherlock Holmes, to work out what's going on with Mama George and her fortune, and how others fit in to the human maze of intrigue. Beautifully written Wendy, blessings Roy

Thank you, Roy. Yes, a detective-type brain is definitely needed, so I am glad I am not writing the next chapter. Lol. Thank you for the great review.

Well done
Comment from Bill Schott
There is certainly a lot of supposition employed in this job of finding Ruby and the stolen jewelry. I think the disease is a huge piece that the detective has come upon with enough help from the reader to establish the fuzzy factor which feeds into the motivations of the rest of the seamy cast.

Thanks so much, Bill. Yes, Ethan Cole has his work cut out now, to sort out what's going on and who the villains really are! I am glad I am not writing the next chapter!

Comment from LJbutterfly
Wow Wendy! You changed the trajectory of the story. Everything we thought prior to this chapter, needs to be reconsidered. If Mama George has CBD, we can't rely on anything she said.
What Ruby has done, is initiate an investigation into her mother's sanity that may uncover and stop thugs and Vito and his sister from manipulating Mama G and stealing from her. What an interesting twist you have added. Good luck to the next writer.

Thank you so much - this review is very insightful, and very encouraging. Yes, everything now needs to be thought about from a different perspective. I'm looking forward to reading the next chapter.

Comment from Jim Wile
I like the possibilities you've opened up here, Wendy. I especially like the CBD disease angle which indicates Mama George may be the victim of paranoia and she's being duped into believing she had pulled a heist and was subsequently robbed by Ruby in a ploy by the thugs to get her inheritance. Very nice!
Then we have to question what part does Vito and Carla play in this and how is it the two thugs are working both for Vito and Mama George. I'm eager to see how this is going to play out now.
Great addition to the story!

You certainly have enough twists and turns in this one, Wendy. I'm going to have trouble keeping things straight in my mind between installments.

It’s thrown a whole new slant on things for Ethan Cole. Good luck to him sorting it all out! Apologies to the writer of the next chapter! Lol. Thanks so much for reviewing.

Comment from jmdg1954
Wow. What a critical turn of events. Perfecto...
The preverbal monkey wrench has been "Mike dropped" into the story raising a ton of question.
This is exciting.
Very well thought out Wendy.
Let's see where it goes.
