This first chapter makes the reader hanker for more.
There is already a lot going on and the character Maxie is well defined as being a ballsy character, not afraid to put herself in a precarious situation.
In such a short chapter you have set up the storyline well, told so much and opened up a tale that is probably going to have many complex twists and turns.
The reader wants to know: why Maxine is prepared to give this Carl character money.
Why is Carl on the run, when no one knew he was a witness to the murder and why won’t he go to the cops?
How did her father know Carl well enough to know he’d make a great lawyer one day?
The only error I saw was you described Abigail as having actions the spitting image of her mother. Spitting image refers to appearance not personality.
Thanks for sharing chapter one.
Cheers Sue
