You are on a roll - keeping up the suspense and unraveling some key information but at the same time opening new corridors to new mysteries! Great job with this and all the other chapters, Carol!

    Good morning, Helen!

    I finally got a few moments to myself and am fighting to get caught up with all the reviews and stories. You are always so kind and generous. Thank you for the wonderful thoughts and shiny stars.

    Smiles and hugs, Carol

The detectives and Elizabeth and Cooper seem to be agreeing about a lot of things. The story suddenly changes from crime boss to a Pied Piper Philanthropist. When the Pied Piper was cheated, he did a very bad thing, but a philanthropist is definitely a good person. I am waiting to see how that all comes together.

For maybe the first in the whole time I've been on Fanstory, I've managed to keep a six for one of your deserving post should you show up. I was beginning to think I might have wasted it, but thankfully, here you are. I hope things are at a point you can enjoy the rest of your stay in North Carolina! I great big bear hug for my sweet friend! Ric

    I am blessed and privileged to receive your shiny stars. It's been a struggle to keep up with writing and reviewing, but the story is flowing easily and that helps. Thank you for the bear hug, your kindness and the shiny stars.

    North Carolina has been hectic but enjoyable. I leave Wednesday to return to frigid Rockford. But my puppies will be waiting with their wet noses and kisses so I am blessed.

    Smiles and hugs, Carol

You have been a busy lady today putting out two chapters. I'm not complaining, though. Your story keeps getting better as you continue. I am looking forward to the next chapter.

    The story seemed to flow today and I was able to write the chapters without much fuss. I have two more waiting in the wings but I needed the money to post and get caught up on the reviews (mine and reading all the others). Thank you...

    Smiles, Carol

All the elements of a fine detective novel, Carol. A frightened mother, a son who threatens to do to his mom's stalker what the police are helpless to do, and of course, tons and tons of cash and jewelry. Your plots and timing in delivering them never disappoint.

This Chapter #20 was a well written story, rich in Theme and Imagery.
It also, read well and Flowed well with No Grammar Issues.
...
Complete Synopsis:
The Adjective and Objective Contents were both Excellent and Exceptional while Descriptive Measures Aligned most Perfectly.

It is good to know this family isn't really connected to crime. They seem to be good people who want to stay out of trouble and are apparently relieved to know the grandfather had a good side as well.

    Internally, I needed to heal Cooper's emotions concerning his grandfather and I guess I couldn't leave the reader thinking he was just another gangster. I am thrilled you understood and enjoyed it.

    Hugs, Carol
