You have done an incredible job of keeping a consistant and interesting story-line. VERY well done, indeed. Keep up the wonderful work, BUT, be sure and check for the occasional over-typing where you start words and then change in the middle.
I downed the whole story in one reading, which is a major achievement for the writer, considering there was precious little sex in it. The characters were quirky, there were lots of surprises, and it was a most enjoyable read.
Top quality writing, excellently plotted, and quite well developed characters made this story a joy to read.

What an excellent piece of work. You are in a class with Ronde, Telephoneman, Mystery Writer, and a couple of others. I can forgive mistyping, but cannot ignore the quality of the structure of the story. Excellent.
And to satisfy the other modest grumblings, I would edit for you anytime.
I do expect either a continuation, or a sequel. Literotica is beginning to develop a core group of exceptional wordsmiths, and you seem to be one of them.
Carry on! Should you desire editing assistance, mention a "Captain Boswell" in one of your works, and I shall be in touch. It would be a pleasure to assist you.

Awesome. Story very different, imaginative, satisfying. Good character development.
I meant to give your story a quick glance to satisfy my curiosity and ended up reading it all the way through. I liked the way your characters slowly developed as though you were painting a picture with words as your brush strokes.
Your story was well developed and expertly crafted. I was amazed that I was so compelled to read an essentially non-sexual story from start to finish.
I was disappointed to see that you hadn't followed this story up with others. Have you published on any other web sites?
Awesome story, it shows how important trust is in a relationship and how once trust is broken, it can take some time for it to grow again. Good job.
Great Story! Would love to see/hear more!
The narrator's voice paints all the character's portraits so deftly. The enigmatic Cat is unique among heroines.
I take it back. One of the most exquisite short stories I've ever read.
Read the entire story in a few hours. One of the best I have encountered here.
It's a pity that it is the only one in your bucket.65DD
So I guess it's no surprise I really liked this. Definitely a little off the beaten path.
I read many stories here, many obviously given the site , for the smutt lol! However I love the ones that capture me in a good story. U took an average guy and made him so patient, added 2 brief "something definitely happened" moments, then BAM it's got a detective, an unknown investigator that been there the whole time! Finally ending with the the good-ol- boy detective getting married, main Char. and Jane finally together and poor sweet sweet Cat is finally opening up on a smooth, yet rapid pace to feeling closer to the "whole" she was before all her pain and hopefully even more so! Thank u you for the time and imagination u put in this!! You could a before our adieu to this sort story and make a great book my friend!! I'd definitely buy just to know more, I was hooked by the 2nd chapter! Again thanks for sharing this with us! As ever, let your imagination be ever fruitful and your words true!! Good day to you sir! -SS
I keep coming back to this story, having read it about a dozen times. It's a masterpiece!
I really wish that I could locate other stories you’ve written as good as this one. I know it was 18 years ago. This story is an excellent blend of elements that I really don’t understand, but the result is there, performed quite nicely.
