This work has reached the exceptional level

I loved every word of this one. You have a marvelous way with words. You take the reader on a wild ride from uproarious laughter to spine chilling terror in less than a snap of two fingers. I nearly fell off my chair reading:

I'd have laughed and swept it under the carpet. But all my rugs had been pulled out from under me.

I anxiously await the next chapter.

    Thanks so much, my dear friend! I was really worried about this chapter, whether it was too slow or too wordy or out of touch with the previous one. It took me several days to finish because I had real trouble getting on with it.

    Thank you for restoring my confidence :-).

    Thank you, Scarlet :-). Mike Radshaw even thinks in sarcasm, so he's a character I enjoy writing (I break out all the metahpors and similes I can think of). So glad you enjoyed it!

my head spinning like a potter's wheel - love your similes
a barbed wire enema - now, that one packs a punch
Intense expression of his emotions
longer than Dirk Diggler on a warm day - now, Mike, remember, ladies are reading LOL
Your dialogue sounds natural, conveys the characters' emotions effectively and is interspersed well with telling descriptions of non-verbal communication.
I love Mike Radshaw, even if you do allow months and months between chapters. LOL Brooke :-)

    Thank you, Brooke :-). He's definitely one of my favourite characters. I couldn't believe it when I saw the date I'd posted the last chapter! Definitely time to conclude this tale.
