Great story! I guess justice was done in the end.

Good story, Barry.

Nice period piece, it all worked together well. Only one error, which I thought might be a clue at first, was when an upset Caitlin was talking to Zach and calling him by his father's name, Liam.

Nice story. Ending just a bit telegraphed but that's okay. Love the Hess' reference. Very fond memories of the German Chocolate Cake from their restaurant.

I really liked this. It boosts the morale to see that the bad guy gets his comeuppance even if it's illegal. The law doesn't always serve justice. A first-rate, five star story, Barry.

Good story. It's nice to run across an author that knows that every story has a beginning, middle, and maybe most importantly, an ending! I'll be reading more of your works. Thank you.

Helluva story

Enjoyed the story. It would be good to have more stories about Zach the PI. I’m sure there’s more,out there.

You're an (easily) acquired taste, Barry.

Nice story

Brilliant, five ☆s for sure.

Thanks for an entertaining story, Barry. You did a nice job of mixing a sweet romance with some really gritty elements. I especially appreciated how you touched on Caitlyn's lasting trauma (her panic attack was moving), as well as Liam's struggle with guilt and the "monster that lived within him." I look forward to reading your next one.

Another excellent story by BarryJames1952! 25 stars, lol

I enjoyed this story. The stereotypical portrayal of hippies was disappointing to this one who live through and embraced the alternative thinking going on which carries on still today. Thanks for writing and most of all for sharing!

Great detective story ... not only a "5" but worth a helluvla a lot more than what I paid for it. I think I will check out your other stories !

Great story

Great story, just one factoid the MP school and CID school were in Fort Gordon

,Ga. during Vietnam. Miserable place to spend two years in WWII barracks.

Good story. Being from Bethlehem, it was nice to read a story containing places and things I remembered when I was younger. Always enjoy your stories.

Powerful writing and very good story.

Love this story

Great story, nice period piece with an interesting mystery, very well written. 5 stars and faved. Glad this is labled as "case 1" as I'd like to see more stories with these characters, I'm a sucker for PI stories.

This is the first one of your stories that I have read, but it won't be the last. A very well deserved five.

5* for a great tale! Thanks for sharing.

Yeah sometimes that's all you can do is live with it

Good story. Enjoyed reading it.

Really nice job on this story - one of the best you've written, with a great plot, well-developed characters and plenty of attention to historical touches from that time. Well done!

great

Fantastic! You made the genre shine and incorporated a sweet romance in it all. The shades of grey were handled so beautifully and it screamed 1970s. Congratulations,

This was remarkably well written, though, by the third page I had figured out whodunnit. I will enjoyed this tale and hope to see more Zack Masters in the future

Great story!

History lesson: MP and CID training was at Fort Gordon, Ga and didn't move to Fort (lost in the) Wood until a decade after Vietnam ended.

Also, cops and PIs used revolvers not autoloaders

A really well written story.

Excellent story. Very entertaining. 5stars

Very, very good. Wrapped up nice and tight and a happy ending to boot!

Excellent. One of the few that I didn't go to from the 1st or 2nd page to the last before coming back to read the rest of the story

Good story Barry, enjoyed the tale, keep it coming. 5*s

Enjoyed the story, nice to see that there wasn’t the usual helping of religion in it. Figured out the plot when Liam met Sheila. Knocked one star off for the snide comment at the end, about Japanese products.

Great story and well told. As soon as Caitlyn said she had been raped I said "Oh Sh*t", I know where this is going. It was a tough call but Zack handled it well as he could and still live with himself. Kind of corny in a wholesome way which made it all the more fun read.

I love stories that are REAL STORIES(beginning, middle and end )and have a connection to reality, people and, very specially and rarely, me personally and this does all of that, Thank YOU! 5*****
