Hi Bev
A great addition to your book.
The first part, a good description of the feelings and actions of the sheriff and detective as they investigate the case. The second part presents the tough blonde. I imagined someone like Lana Turner would have played her in the old movie days.
Lots of good things to enjoy.

Comment from judiverse
Great chapter, Bev. The description of Debra's niece Darcy is very vivid, She's upset that she wasn't notified about her aunt's death but may have information since she had seen Debra shortly before her death. Jana is an interesting character, and she seems to be looking out for the Sheriff. You do a fine job of handling the conversation with the coroner. It sounds realistic, and we learn that the killer used a paralysis-inducing drug. True to what often happens in real life, the sheriff has a lot on his plate and comes in for his share of blame. You show him as a guy who can handle it, thought. judi

You have done a nice job with this writing; good dialogue, details engaging without being overpowering and you have several good metaphors and similes sprinkled throughout, nice job.
