Wow, @sunnyag. So you're new to writing murder mysteries? Well done! Congrats on your foray into genre writing. I bet you will have fun with it.

I liked how you shared just enough information throughout the story to keep us interested and reading, but not enough to give anything away. That is the challenge of the murder mystery writer.

I will admit, I was quite wary of what might be revealed in the story, so I was only reading with one eye open! (For some reason, that's what I do when I fear what is coming.) I was pretty sure you would avoid anything graphic or bloody. I appreciate that. As you know, we don't allow stories in The Ink Well that portray brutality and violence, especially of women, children and pets. So this story walks the line, but I think you did fine. Thanks for avoiding anything graphic!
