Comment from GWHARGIS

Excellent

I could actually feel the insecurity of Aeysha when she walked into Baput's room and found him playing the pan pipes to another girl. Then she met the possible new head of the Elephant place. He's going to be trouble. I just feel it. More great writing and I just live how you ease the culture into your story. Gretchen

Thank you, Gretchen. It's been most interesting researching some of the Thai traditions and folklore. Thanks for commenting on their inclusion. All good wishes, Tony

Ah, the story is progressing well. The romantic coin toss between the hunk Australian lawyer and the crippled Thai panpipe exponent seems to have fallen in Bapit's favour at least for now and the elephant sanctuary is still on the cards...

There was a nice balance in this chapter between those two strands. I imagine you will be drawing in the darker side of things again soon.

Thanks, Steve. I appreciate the sixth star. At the moment the coin is stuck in a crack. I can't decide if Ayesha got together with Bapit out of love or out of gratitude, and whether she's now sticking with him out of love or out of pity. There are many reasons why their union might be a rocky one. Steve, on the other hand, has a lot going for him, just as long as that pretty little receptionist doesn't snap him up first.

I guess that answers the question of whether the author himself knows where his story is headed!!

Well, Tony, as usual, this is enjoyable to read and easy on the eyes since the font size is large enough for all of us with diminished vision. The plot thickens and the widow could be fooling everyone if it were up to her. I love this thriller it gives me the thrill of a lifetime!

Thank you for another most encouraging review, Jesse, and for the affirmation of a sixth star.
Years ago, when I was new to the site, I had one or two people comment on their difficulty in reading small print. Ever since then, having researched for the clearest reading fonts, I've posted using Garamond size 24.

I'm Glad you liked my suggestion to use large print.
It surely helps.
Good luck with publishing your book.
