Harry is a great detective in more ways than one! I liked the adoption angle since I worked for an agency in another state that monitored independent adoptions.

I know I've said it before, but I LOVE, love, love your work. Also love all the Tennessee references. Lastly? I'm in FULL agreement about pantyhose. It baffles me when I read a story, and the otherwise sexy character dons pantyhose. YUCK!
It was funny, and at my age twice a week is pretty damn good! Better than most weeks anyway. lol
Felt sorry for Barbara having to lose her daughter, but sometimes what she went does work. Sometimes.
Keep up the writing and Take care
Another good one. I’m still on the fence on whether I like your detective/PI stories more than your Wild West/Civil War era material. But you have to know that my respect went up when I saw you use the term “discreet” properly. I’ve probably read a thousand stories on Lit and this is the first time someone has not confused “discreet” with “discrete”. Bravo.
Another great story! I could really relate to the woman who had given her daughter up for adoption. I was forced to give my daugher up for adoption, but I was the birth father. She found me and I got to meet her 35 years later. I'm just bioDad. She had great parents whom I liked a lot. She and her husband have been very successful and it's been good not to have to worry about how she was. Her birth mother and I talked on the phone after our daughter found me. Not much to say after so long a time.
Keep up the writing. Love your story telling ability!
Relating only to the opening: Someone I know, but not very well, was accused (and apparently convicted) of putting cams in a big store's women's restroom. At present he's in a federal prison halfway across the country. It definitely happens.
Anyway, nice story, but not one of your best. Then again, this series isn't one of my favorites. Humor & Satire, OK.
One of those Rsymond Chandleresque stories that satisfies utterly, like a four-square meals
people used to talk about. One feels replete.
