As usual ST had set the hook & started reeling us in. Looking forward to the next chapter. Great story ST! 5*
Purely from a storytelling standpoint, this is got to be one of your best stories ever.
Love the story plot, a bit slow but you are setting up all the characters nicely. As a rule I hate stories being put out in multiple parts days apart, and as a rule you usually put them out every other day is good.
Like I said Great Story and I love your writing you have a very active imagination. Keep up the great writing! 5.5

I enjoy how you intertwine characters from previous stories, makes me go back and reread them.
One observation about Phillipe, wasn’t his name Dumont at one time and was a painter?
1 star and I avoid reading any of this murder, body parts crap.
Please add tags to show the horrid gruesome murder details to warn readers.
Well ST you have weaved your usual mystery and by the comments every one ( minus some) feel that even though it has only two chapters you are definitely keeping your audience in suspense. Keep it coming, looking forward to some clues. Five years is a long time to keep a severed foot
Another Great Mystery Masterpiece from one of the Greatest Writers on this Site! So far the mystery deepens, clues emerge, shady Characters are interviewed and we are There! Great Writing, Great Story, Great Effort! Thank You Sir. 5 stars at least! #Buster2U
Great piece to the story the plot deepens, can’t wait to see where the next twist in the story comes from
Why didn't he ask her where, and how, she lost her foot? If it's key to their solving the case, why would he not ask more questions about it?
I have to say that it amuses me to read comments saying a story is boring because it is not 'arousing or erotic'. Just because a story is not jerk off fodder, does not mean it is not a great read. YOu are telling a story. You might introduce a bit of romance or even full blown eroticism every now and then, but the STORY is the important thing. A good plot. If the characters are a bit larger than life, great. If you know the good guy will come out on top at the end, again fine. It is the travel that counts not the destination.
You did Roland dirty here... After his last story I don't see him having casual sex like that with his boss.
Part 1 got 5 stars, this one does too !
BTW... my apologies ok logies for misnaming Sheriff Caldwell as Sheriff Ryan Patrick.
Too many stories rambling around in my poor cranium, I guess !
Waiting with bated breath for the next part !
Woo hooo… the mysterious left foot. Could be a Monty Python sketch… but no… it’s another great ST story. Looking forward to reading more. Thank-you ST!
Glad I read chapter 2, the first chapter was hard to follow. Fast read. Characters not believable, reminds me of the 70’s tv McCloud. But enjoying something different, like a B movie. 5 stars……
I just wanna know why the Bad Guys insisted on re-creating the beginning of "The Bridge"...
I don't usually say this, but i am truly curious where you are going with this.
Thank you, I'm enjoying the ride...
Hell, I'm now in the habit of giving SaddleTramp 5 stars before I even start the story because of his reputation as a skilled, top notch Author! 5 BIG ASS FUCKING HUGE FLAMING NOVA STARS just before they become a black hole, lol. Thanks once again SaddleTramp, your the best!
Waiting to see what story ST has them meeting in. Come on ST, drop the next one please.
Very good so far. How much of her foot remained intact enough to freeze, if she “lost” it due to IED? I’m wondering why nobody asked her why someone would keep and freeze her foot? Or asked if she had any idea who kept it, or why? The mystery deepens…

YOU prolly change channels or turn off your TV when the Roadrunner cartoon comes on.
As always, another great story.
Anxiously waiting for the next part.
Thank you.

RE: "Very good so far." - They did ask her, when Ron came in with the foot in an Igloo ice chest.
WOW ANNOY, I think you might have your cap lock button on. It's on the left, close to center on your keyboard.
Once again one of my pet peeves ... I see it's part 2 and I like the author ... so I check his story list. Says it's the 2nd part of a 2 part story ... safe to read - it's all there. NOT. Now waiting for part 3 or more of a 2 part story. Sheesh !!
Really enjoying it. 5 stars, though I do get a little tripped bouncing between Ray, Ryan, Ron, Roland, and the times you refer to them by only their last names or title.
I love the twists and turns of this story. A great story so far. 5 stars.

The name of the character Phillipe Dupont appears to be a reference to the character Philippe Du Monte from Richard Gerald's Another Love story. There are enough similaritiesthat theconnection is obvious. Both characters are in open marriages,both have French ancestry, and both have lived in Montréal. It took me a while to make the connection. Bravo!
I'm loving it. We're starting to get to the real meat of the story. This reminds me a little of "A father's justice" in that it started out slow, getting the players lined up, then the shit hit the fan and all hell broke loose. It feels that way here too, as we're narrowing down who could or couldn't have done the killings. It's like a mystery unraveling before our eyes. I can't wait to see how this one plays out. Should be good.
I gave both parts 5 stars.
Why do I feel like a catfish under a river bank that has just been grabbed by my gills and pulled out for dinner? I was glad to see that there are two more parts to this story and that from the descriptive tag there might be a actual ending waiting for my review. You do know how to grab a reader's interest.
"Roland was referring to the Thompson submachine gun" - Is this an homage to the Warren Zevon song, "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner?"
Warren Zevon lyrics? How ‘bout “Lawyers, Guns and Money”? Oh yeah, that’s already been done. How about
“Carmelita”? Damn, never mind, I’m getting off-track.
Great story, ‘Tramp, I can’t wait for the next chapter.
5 stars, absolutely.
Good, except for the name confusion, Waters, Walters, Winters......editor - triple check !
