Amazing! This is like reading one of Michael Connelly's Mystery novels. So detailed and perfectly sequenced. The writing is so well done and in a poem it just seems so extraordinary. You are certainly an extraordinary writer. God Bless.

    Hi Raffaelina. Thank you so much for the extra star. I really appreciate it. My original ?Lead Detective? poem is in my portfolio. It is a thriller. If you would like me to tell you which page it is on, please let me know. Thank you for your splendid review

OK, that tonsil detail turned my stomach, but it was a really good plot twist. This continues to be a very interesting tale, with excellent plot detail and character development, and you further keep our interest with the addition or new characters. Somehow, you manage to keep it all together within an abab rhyme scheme. As usual, I look forward to the next installment.

    Thank you Michele for another excellent review. Especially for the extra star. I think people think it is too long. That part one is part of the current poem.
reply by Michele Harber on 20-Nov-2018
    It's a full story in a poem, which means it's long by definition. Look at the length of the poem that just won the Faith contest, and that wasn't even a story. The point is, if anyone doesn't want to read a long poem, they don't have to, but they'll be missing out on an interesting story. For the type of story poem you're writing, anything shorter would have shortchanged the reader.

A very well-written detective story. Sometimes to discover the truth when someone went missing and the body was found is just as disturbing and devastating than not to know the details.

I was wondering when you'd hit this piece again. Well done. So, he keeps them for a while, huh? I hope they find him soon :(*

The rhyme was steady and the cadence flowed well from stanza to stanza. The story is relatable and very realistic. I didn't find any errors, dear. The read had me enthralled from. the mayor...to the chief's cold coffee, LOL... All involved in task at hand. Find the darned culprit, already, right?

Keep em coming. I love a good mystery. Poetry style, now that's where it's at! Nicely done, dear.

    Bob does not like this, Janelle. I think I understand why. It is because he is a novelist who looks at characters through dialogue and observation. I am just trying to present from inside the mind of one man. One reviewer actually found it more compelling than stories or novels. It is unique, I guess. Thank you for your wonderful review

Hi, Pam. this is different. LOL I guess it's because I am a detective/crime writer but without the ability to read imagery and lots of it in my stories i cannot enjoy a story as you have it in a poem here. There is no place for real dialogue either and dialogue propels a story forward.

YOur rhymes are great but I am just not one cut out for this work I guess. So sorry. I would rather be honest with you than anything short of that. Bless you, Bob

    That is fine Bob. I probably would stop but some opeople beg me for new installments. I understand how you feel. You want to be more detailed and look at things from the standpoint of each character. This is dealing with just one man. His thought process
    as the lead Detective. Other characters are only in passing. Everything is pertinent to the case. Some reviewers even said it was refreshing bs novels and stories about crime they read on here. There is a niche for almost everything. You can skip future installments. Take care and thanks for this review

Very good. I learned a couple of things. I find the details of crimes I read about in prose come through with more impact when they are in poetry. You are writing quite a mystery. I read Part 1. Glad to know new installments are posted Sunday mornings. I will check next week.

An unusual way of presenting a story, in rhyming verse Pam. Quite an undertaking my friend, thank you for the previous chapter, it helps a lot. Not as carefully edited as previous poems, but still, an epic. Well done, for writing these instalments, an excellent embarkation. Blessings, Roy

    Thank you Roy. Is something wrong? Why did you say not as carefully edited. I appreciate any feedback. Thanks for the great review

    I didn't think it was as smooth as normally as others, just check, I could be wrong Pam.

This guy need to be hung out to dry and soon before another young life is lost to this ghoul! Why do men think they have to mutilate to get their point across.
