All Comments on 'The Cold Case that Turned Hot'

I like how they work together, both solving cases and in the bedroom or wherever their desire takes them

As Arte Johnson on the old Laugh In show said "VERRRRY INTERRRRESTING"

Even LEOs can benefit from second opinions. Nice case of synergy in action.

Great story that could be expanded into a novel. Thanks!

You are such a talented writer and keep posting these wonderful stories. Thank you, thank you and, please keep writing. Great story - really enjoyed it even though detective fiction is not something I normally read. Well done.

I really enjoy your police and detective stories!

This series just keeps getting better and better.

A good story. The dog though doesn’t work well. The timeline doesn’t work. Big dogs don’t live that long. If Victor got Macy to help with his ptsd after he got back from Viet Nam, Macy would have been about as old as Samantha - 21 at the time of the murders. If Macy were a 4 sigma outlier, she’d still have been so arthritic she could barely walk.

When you rewrite it - make Macy younger. And introduce her sooner.

Favorite part - Samantha not cashing the life insurance because it would have been fraud. You could have made that the loose end that solved the case.

Another great detective story

A nice bit of detective fiction on an otherwise erotic fiction site — and very well-written. Definitely hungry for a sequel, please!

You could write an excellent series for Netflix, or Prime! Maybe you already do that. Better than 5* -- the detective detail is great.

Your mysteries are quite enjoyable from beginning until brilliant solution. When can we have another?

A well constructed story with lots of interesting variables. You could bust out into the paperback mass market with this kind of material. Quality work. 5.

Good story with lots of interesting twists and turns. Just one question though. If Victor's mother, Evelyn, was married to Walter, who is Stanley?

Great murder mystery. Loved all the twists. Five stars!

Just like Kellogg's Frosted Flakes

Excellent story beginning to ending. Beautifully clear, concise and easily followed writing added to the enjoyment. The hint of sex added some delicate piquancy. It is so well arranged, composed and presented that I imagine this is what you "do" as "a day job" as well.

Great storytelling in any case.

Very nice, on the whole. My one real complaint: The whole thing is way too complicated, and the psychological motives kind of wear thin in the end. In all other ways, very well done.

Nice twist, good story.

Too long! I still think your best story was "18 Wheels and a Denim Skirt"!

Love love your crime stories and will be making my way through all your submissions.

10 stars. you are a great storyteller

And will the insurance company be asking for return of the $500,000?

"He said his dad dropped his mother off at her real estate business and then went on to do the lawns he needed to do that day."

A real estate broker could not possibly do her job without access to her own car, because of the necessity of meeting clients out at properties for sale.

"All the people involved were either dead, went to prison, or were so old and infirm they probably wouldn't live much longer."

Umm, no, Samantha got to resume her life after a year of parole. Not sure whether a nurse with her record could find employment, shortage notwithstanding, but she could always find other work.

Also, I can see the insurance company refusing to pay anything out to Samantha, since she was convicted of obstructing the investigation of the death of the insured. Insurance companies routinely refuse to pay out for much less substantial reasons than that.

I honestly was thinking it would turn out that Samantha and her father were lovers.

I also think Rick would have forced William and Samantha to admit who sent the threatening letter, and prosecute them, as a part of their plea deal.

Right on the money. I hardly need to say any more than that

Not happy with the way the DA and courts administered justice.

.

Trying a senile old man in absentia? And William's obstruction charge should not have been pursued -- he's already got a very substantial sentence for abuse.

Too many lawyers are 'running up the score after the game is won' and spending time, effort, and resources needed elsewhere.
