All Comments on 'Rita, The Computer Forensics Tech'

It was somewhat confusing determining if the victim was Anderson or Edwards. Both names got used. Still 5* though

That was one fine story! You had put a lot of time researching the subject matter.

An excellent story, decent length, lots of detail, a solved case and a romance. I don't know anything really about the American Civil War nor re-enactment groups but it all sounded very plausible and provided Rita with a great chance to show her skills.

A few little issue, Anderson became Edwards in one paragraph and Jack became Jerry in another, as well as I instead of it at another point. Tad annoying, but having proofread a couple of stories I can appreciate how difficult it is to eradicate all errors, and not enough to detract from a 5⛤ contribution.

Thanks for a great way to spend a wintry hour on a Saturday morning.

PS. Slipperier threw me, thought it was US English but, no, it's UK English too and apparently older than slippier which I would use. Never thought Lit would teach me so much more English vocabulary at my age. 😂😂😂😂😂

Another great story and a realistic ending, just regular people. 5 stars - thank you.

Save your Confederate money, boys, reenactors don't care for reproductions. And Lovely Rita is nigh onto the perfect nerd. Super story, as usual.

This was a very nice happy ending story led off by a highly interesting crime scenario. The name glitches are a minor annoyance, but the story itself still Is 5 star.

Nice job of writing. You do know the subject matter.

Nice - a romantic detective story. You are amazing. Thank you

Nicely done as usual. I always appreciate the amount of detail you put in your work, as it makes for both interesting and informative reading, along with your stories themselves.

A wonderful story as usual. It’s amazing how your stories flow so well, it’s why I can’t put them down. Your detail is impressive, I always learn something from your stories. 5🌟

This is one of your best stories - a solved crime and romance! I particularly liked the back and forth flow!

***** stars (as usual with your stories).

Thanks for giving us a fine tale of crime solving (in a Civil War re-enactment - no less) and romance.

Is this worth another in a series (hint-hint) ??????

As it is not unusual that it takes a long time to get to the romantic part the stories you tell are so vivid and intriguing that makes it a true treat. As always waiting for the next one of your wonderful stories. Thank You!!!!

5*****

Excellent tale!

This is a good blend of a detective story and romance. To tell the truth I was wondering when the the romance part was coming up.😊

Sometimes all you need is a good shag and your on your way. lol

Had fun reading it. 5 stars

Original, technical and captivating, there are no lulls in the story and we like the characters, well except for the villain of course. Yet again I find myself admiring one of your stories Ronde, it’s well written and well edited, 5⭐️, many thanks for writing and posting, cheers, Ppfzz.

Excellent 💥💥💥💥💥

Five well deserved stars! Good story and I learned something too.

This is as polished a gem as I have read here. Thank you. My next step is go find your other work

and read that too. That is if there is any. Regardless, I'll follow you in future.

Usually I like your stories but this one couldn't keep my attention. I love history...but not mysteries. I won't rate it since I couldn't finish it.

The Romance category can be so much nicer than the Loving Wives category and this is one of those times.

On Page 4 about 3/4 down the victims name shows as 'Edwards' a couple of times instead of 'Anderson', I think it's the first mistake I've ever seen in one of your stories.

5stars as usual, great story!

What a great story. Your a amazing.

I like a romantic story that has some background and context, this one is on par with 'Share the Road' by Thuclydides, who, regretfully, seems to have retired. Happy to give this story 5 stars, as I did for the other.

Good albeit highly techical feeling after a while. Bore, caliber, angle... a bit much that way. I like good plot but this felt dense.

Amazing story. Set up perfectly as a chapter one in a long romance series. 5/5 One of your very best.

Nothing new to add. The others said everything I wanted to say. Well done, sir; well done.

I really enjoyed this story, especially the research and knowledge you put into it.

Good job!! Appropriately awarded, too!

Liked this one a lot. Romance and a mystery are my favourite.

Lovely story. Enjoyed the police procedural elements. More ballistics detail than I really needed, but it was easy to skim past and added to the authenticity. I’m a sucker for intelligent women — Rita is great.

Another great story! For what little it’s worth, I really like the police procedural aspect, as well as the details about firearms and ballistics. I’m also glad that at its core the story is a romance, with a nice dose of spice.

As always, thank you for writing and thank you for sharing your work.

He'll of a story, as always.

Up to your usual high standard and once again impressed by the research on the weaponry/ballistics. As a vet these things add cred and enjoyment. Other comments express the authenticity and reality. Keep going

Five star, of course.

Loved the re-enactors - the story goes that on the set of "Last of the Mohicans," the re-enactor groups got so involved, that the director shouted "Work with me people, this is not a documentary!"

Simply thanks!

Well done. I could have done with less of the ballistics, but that's just me. Loved the ending!

great story perfect! Five Big Ones.

Good story. I'll grant the artistic license on the TN DL and altered name. But FWIW it's not Nashville PD, it's Metro-Davidson County PD.

Was the victim in this story "Anderson" or "Edwards"? Simple editing would help.

Otherwise a good well written story.

Great story

Lots of details, which is often the case with this author. Lots of knowledge about different areas, with the romance somewhat ancillary. Minor errors, including using “it’s” as possessive of “it.”

Another great story, thanks for writing.

Another excellent story. I enjoyed the whole thing. Thanks for another hit...outta the park. :-)

Thoroughly enjoyed this, well written and seemed like real people. Thank you very much. 5*

Another gem. Thanks so much.

Loved the information. Oh yeah and a well done romance story. Thanks!

Just how come does Ronde know so much about so many things? Great as ever.

Very well written, and enjoyable to read. Thanks for sharing.

Another wonderful job. Thank you. Could use some careful grammar & spelling proofing, but (especially compared to many stories on this site) this mostly is minor.

To the comment by Smiffy69, I'm pretty sure the answer is experience and research--quite a lot of both overall. I can't say which is which. That's an indication of quality.

Sometimes you (meaning: I) just luck out. What a great story. I read an article recently about there being a shortage of writers for some of the streaming services because there are so many. Have you ever thought of making a screenplay of this story for such a purpose? The procedural aspect strikes me as very convincing for one of those Hallmark mystery shows. I realize most of them don't have cops for their MC, but you could look around. A stand alone hour and a half movie might be possible with this plot, too. 90 pages of screenplay usually suffices...a page for each minute is a good rule of thumb.

5 stars and adding you to my favorites list!

Great story, lf you use a proof reader they missed a few names changing. Mr. Anderson kept changing to Mr. Edwards. This happened several times. Most people may not notice it. But with my background those things stand out. Still love the story thank for sharing.

Great whodunit with a happy ending. What more could a reader want? Thanks for posting.

a magnificent piece of writing. well done and very entertaining.
