Wow.... This was the first chapter of this book I've read but let me tell you, it kept my interest from the beginning. Your attention to detail is superb giving the reader just enough to picture it without explaining every minut detail.
The lack of dialogue I thought made it long to read but like I said, I am not familiar with the previous chapters...
Thank you for the interesting reading you provided.

Hello Bev,

An extremely interesting chapter. Good insight into the characters. I caught a couple of misspellings which I've noted below. No big deal, probably typos.

Gertrude's movement(s) stilled.

straight-ba(c)ked chair...

An enjoyable and intriguing read.

    It's a good story, but I haven't followed it as closely as I'd like. Maybe I'll get caught up, but I'm a long ways in arrears.

oooooh I liked the nice little twist at the end of this, gets the ole sherlock juices going. You write very well and keep a steady storyline without interruption in thought. Well done.

I am so happy to see a new chapter of this story, Bev :) This gave me a very eerie feeling. Getting a look at the killer. Seeing the conditions his mother is living in. I worry about the safety of that nurse. Looking forward to the next chapter!

"Gertrude's (movemented) stilled." - movements maybe?

Very concise writing, and you kept your story moving fast enough so that it was interesting, in spite of almost no dialogue. Good tension with the murder, and then the build-up with the pending house visit by Marsha, following two previous nurses who had begged off the case. Great location scene, the old house, and then the appearance of the mysterious son Eddie, who may prove to have some telepathic abilities, and gives his mom rose quartz rosaries?
Great chapter, irish
