I can imagine she is angry that her mother did not tell her about her dead sister. Maybe that explains why she is trying to locate a killer. I wonder what was in that box.

Comment from DALLAS01
Great chapter. Full of suspense. I was thinking that what was blocking the door was another dead body. Again I am so impressed by the way you depict simple physical maneuverings.
Hank Gephart clamped his fingers around the handle of the metal bucket and put his back into the restroom door. Simultaneously, he bumped his elbow against the wall switch, extinguishing the room's light. His backwards

Hi, Dallas. Thank you very much for this awesome review. And, a special thanks for the input about the physical descriptions. That means a lot because I'm working at doing a better job with that. So appreciate your encouragement, support and so-generous six, my friend. Warmest regards, Bev

Comment from Chanphy
This is going along nicely. You have given very clear descriptions in the story that the reader can imagine being there. I like the tone that you used throughout to perfectly portray the characters and bring them to life on the page. Great work. I love the use of the cliffhanger.

Comment from Gungalo
Yikes the box contained a human ear. That is pretty serious of a warning I'd say. What will the do now? Gosh this story is getting pretty involved.

Hi, Gungalo. Yes, it is definitely full of puzzles. I think I may be channelling Agatha Christie LOL. I wish! Thanks so much for the delightful review. Warm regards, Bev

You wouldn't? Would you? Hehehe.

You never know what a Scorp will do LOL. Hugs, Bev

People sure do get jealous when they begin perceiving
someone else may be sidling up to the one they prefer,
eh? It seems to me as if Jana is the only one thinking
halfway straight on this case right now.
thanks for sharing

Comment from donaldww
Am I right to detect a love triangle in the police station?
Yikes! A human ear? Has Vincent van Gogh come to St. Matilda's?
Excellent dialogue and plot has looking forward to the next post.

Comment from Connie C
Oh, how creepy at the end of this chapter! A human ear? I love the build up to his discovery of the ear. You are so good, Bev, at providing a setting that adds to the mystery of the story. And I like that you might be slipping a little romance into the novel with Jana and Derek. Mystery, the supernatural, romance--this novel has it all! You should be proud, my friend. I wish FS would let me give you six stars. This is so worthy of 6+.
Hugs,
Connie

Comment from fictionwriter
ewww. I'd hate to come across something like that. Poor guy might have a heart attack. I enjoyed this tension filled chapter. Nicely done. A couple nits to consider.
He stopped just before the entrance(,) forcing her to slow in response
Minutes later(,) the entire Task

Comment from Joan E.
I really like your sprinkling of Sioux terms--this one makes the title especially appealing. Thanks too for the recap to put us back in the scene and the suspense of what "famous" might mean. I could understand Detective Burke's quandary, and "Confusing trust with desire" is an insightful line. I had not thought before about how police must need to get involved due to "hypervigilant," faraway relatives! More folks should consider the "pepper spray... alternative" too. You're conclusion was quite unexpected--you are such a good storyteller! Cheers- Joan

Comment from JM daSilva
Very good dialogue and descriptions made me follow the story easily. Great.
I have some editing suggestions for you.
"Excuse me, Sir?" (lowercase, unless there is a name Sir John)
set you apart, Detective. (lowercase, use uppercase with names)
Minutes later the entire Task Force, minus Skeets Epstein (,)who was interviewing Debra Padget's neighbors a second time, assembled in Sheriff Oleson's office.
Minutes later the entire Task Force - minus Skeets Epstein, (parenthetical who) who was interviewing Debra Padget's neighbors a second time - assembled in Sheriff Oleson's office.
