Hi Cheri Annemos ,I found your writing as part of a challenge. Hopefully this review will find you in good spirit.

What charming atmospheric drawing of the nineteen hundreds. The bath house, the women, how they were dressed and how they behaved it is all 1911. Very neat. I loved this short story because it goes beyond the emancipation of women of that time, it is the tale of two murderers committing a crime and getting away with it.

What works for me?She sat soaking in the hot water of the round tin tub; out the north window snow hung like a sheet on a clothesline, but the room was bright with the fire on the hearth and redolent of lavender water. Across the room and behind the privacy screen, in a similar tub of lavender water, was the other woman in James Buchanan’s life. It may have been accidental that both of them ended up at the same bathhouse. It may have been coincidental that their conversation turned from polite small talk to the man in each of their lives. Stunned silence emanated from both sides of the room when the two women realized they were talking about the same man. It was with dead reckoning when the first invitation to get even with Mr. James Buchanan was uttered.

In a nutshell what the story is about.

I loved your writing style, the description of the era, the casual way in which both women led him to a bench in winter time while under sedation, to die a peaceful death by freezing.

All in all a good write and excellent read.

Keep up the good work, enjoy writing!
