Hi, Barb
= I love how Emily tried to weasel the red nail polish. But, I don't even see that happening.
= Fun, lighthearted chapter, and with a good end hook. Nice job.
Cheers, J
Have a great day/evening.

Comment from Margaret Snowdon
Most enjoyable read, Barbara - don't you just love little Emily -
A couple of minor things:
"she has an appropriate nail color for a five year old." Jane smiled." - five-year-old
"Drew, I received a voice mail from a Maxwell Gaines." Voice-mail
Blessings,
Margaret

G'day Barbara.
"Daddy, I'm not a pumpkin, I'm a little girl." She giggled." (Kids are so funny.)
"she has an appropriate nail color for a five(-)year(-)old." Jane smiled."
"Drew, I received a voice mail(voicemail) from a Maxwell Gaines."
Darn it! Who is it from? Kuznetsov perhaps? Fancy leaving an old bloke like me in suspense like that... meany lol.
Another great chapter and it is moving along at a steady pace.
Great job.
Cheers Fez

Comment from Jan Anderegg
I see this novel is well advanced and it was a little difficult for me to put the pieces together and understand the conversations taking place and the underlying meanings behind them. My fault, not yours. LOL
I read through twice and did not find any errors and I have no suggestions for improvements. I did enjoy Emily's five-year-old innocence and her take on the situation. She sounds like a cutie.
All the best.

Comment from royowen
When pondering the upcoming party of Emily, it reminded me of my 6yr old granddaughter's 6th birthday, it was a "pamper party", girls only, I guess they grow up very quickly, where's my little girl gone? Anderson was obviously embarrassed about the question posed about Shana, is love happening? Well done, Barbara, good scribing, blessings, Roy
Typo : I, ah, agr(ee) 2: Why did daddy get (up) in and leave the table...

Comment from KNim
Coming in the middle of a story line isn't always easy to review...I feel like a fly on the wall - just flown in and trying to catch up.
That being said;
I love the intrigue. What I've read makes me want to read it all! From this excerpt, I feel bad for Shana, who seems to be referred to in third party, as if she's not really sitting there ~ awkward for her.
The one sentence from Emily seemed a little off - "Why did Daddy get and leave without eating breakfast?"...was that meant to be the sentence the way a five-year-old would speak or were words missing?
I look forward to reading more of this story line. Thank you!

Comment from Phyllis Stewart
I love the scenes with Emily. She adds a lot of warmth to what could be just a mystery/theft story. I also like what Anderson's staff add, almost like a family. Now, what does Jeff have in that envelope?

Comment from Sefiros
Interesting. The little girl injects some happiness into a book dealing with multiple problems (the painting; the mother's incessant need for money, etc). I'm not too sure why Drew is shy about Shana's dress. They're both adults. Why can't they be together? Keep up the good work.

There is plenty of reason they can't be together. One reason already discussed is Anderson promised Shana's father. Hmmm, Thank you for the kind review.
