Probably not a good thing to start off with "Oh Lord" as I started reading.
You grabbed hold of me again and I couldn't stop reading, knowing I'm a sap for scary stuff that says a whole lot about your skill as a writing.
This was well penned and flowed smoothly. Nothing popped up needing anything, it was brilliant as is.
The ending section was an excellent touch getting to know the killer and his life a bit with his mother's dependency on him. The rosary was the perfect touch. I wasn't lost to the fact that he said he was adding to her collection of rosary's.
Thanks for sharing.

Comment from FlorrieFan
This is very good. You provide just enough details to make me feel I am there at the scene. The sherrif is a believable character. As the chapter continues, my questions mount. Especially what was on the wall of the bedroom? Yes, I am eager to read more.
I liked the detail about the posole which helped locate the story for me geographically.

Thank you so much, FlorrieFan. It's really nice to hear from you. Father Brian spent a number of years in the Southwest, though my story is currently set in Minnesotta. There's going to be more of those kinds of things showing up in the future, so I hope you'll stop by again! Kind regards, Bev

Kinda scary when the most fun part of a write is the time you spend inside a killer's head. As always, charlie, thanks for your time and support. I appreciate it. Bev

Beware that your creativity does not make your negative energy your reality. As you think, so you are. This is very well written.
