I read this out of order, not sure how that happened. I just went back and checked, because I started at the top of my PM box instead of the back. Okay makes sense. I am enjoying this poetic mystery.

This is very unique Pam... a murder mystery inside an ongoing series of poems... you have done a fantastic job with the sequence of the plot, rhyme choices and the story line. Great job.

Enjoying you post concerning the problem. Not to see the scripture unfold, Everything done in secret comes to light either good or bad Ecc-12. The guy looks the part. Well done.

    Hi Charles. I like it when you quote a refer to scripture that helps me to understand the Bible and being a new Christian. I do understand a lot of it anyway even though I never was a Christian, but there’s always more one can learn.

    Thanks again for another six star rating

Impressive to take a criminal case and translate it into poetry so effectively! I will be anxious to read the continuing saga. Nicely penned and so interesting.

There's something about reading about these crimes, in a poetic way, that
highlights the drama and horror of it. Honestly, it may be that I do not usually read crime news so it's hitting me hard. How you managed to rhyme and impart so much info in not so many lines, is a feat. Your writing is very intriguing and I have to read more!

God forgive me if I come across as a smart ass but, if the killings all take place on Kirby's field, why not place or hide cameras in as many places and spaces as possible. Modern tech makes wide ranging cameras that are small to look at but cover wide areas. I may be jumping the gun on this one and if I am I seriously apologize for that.

    Hi nomi

    I put in my notes in a later installment that this was before those kinds of cameras were invented

    The green river killer dumped his victims in the same spot over and over again because they do not have this technology yet

    Thanks for the great review

    Thank you. After I posted my comments, I figured that the cameras had not been available at that time. I do realize that the police are not incompetent. especially in cases involving murder.

This poetic mystery story reads similar to a television episode of "Law and Order SUV". Being a poem I enjoy the rhyming patern of lines like (M.O. - slow) throughout the story. I like the visionary details of the bodies of the women. I like the media involvement that didn't know all the facts. I enjoyed a good mystery. I wait on the next installments of how this scary serial killer is caught in "The Kirby
Case".

Very well done, Pam. Your metre and rhymes are superb as always and the story itself is presented through poetry at a good pace to make it interesting.

Much enjoyed. :)

    Thank you, Gloria. Sorry for the delay in response to this. I’ve been in the hospital three months of the last five making it hard to respond to reviews.

    But thanks for the great one

So much violence in the world now a days, though with new technology, they are solving some very important cold cases, and have a lot better information on recent cases, very well written, and I look forward to your future posts****kahpot
