Have enjoyed all the Max tales and just when you imagine it could not get any more exciting, suspenseful, dangerous or sexy along comes Lily and her diabolical game(s). This piece is a fantastic roller coaster ride — something a reader can always count on with Detective Max Pemberton. 5 stars.
In one of these stories, Max thinks she's borderline alcoholic. I think she's well beyond the border. If they handed out academic degrees in alcoholism, Max would have a Doctorate. A bitter enemy gets out of prison swearing to kill you. What to do? I know, get pissed on cheap vodka and pass out. All your gangster enemies know where you live. You might as well paint a bullseye on yourself, front and back, you couldn't make it any easier for a would-be killer.
Don't get me wrong, SWP, I'm really enjoying these stories now that I've found them. It's just that I think in real life, Max wouldn't survive five minutes in the kind of world she lives in. Still, on to the next story---I'm sure Max will pull something out of the bag.
Ok, it's worth 5 stars, and I'll keep on through to the conclusion of the series. But I have to endorse every comment Maonaigh (who has amply earned his spot in the Literotica Hall of Fame) has made directly below.
Let me add one point. Your work product cries out for the able assistance of an eagle-eyed proofreader and a skilled editor. Ideally the roles would be played by the same person, but the proofreader would catch your typos and the editor your grammatical lapses -- like your failure to keep "lie" and "lay" straight.
