In response to "Blessings"

My review is based on professional editing points. It is meant to be honest, encouraging, and respectful in accordance with WDC guidelines.

THE STORY

Paul sends home a wild letter to Mom and Dad that almost gives them a heart attack, so they plan their revenge.

WHAT I LIKED

I loved the comical elements of the story and just how wild Paul's "gotcha" letter grew wilder and wilder.

POV NARRATION/TENSE

Paul's story is told in the form of a letter. Mom and Dad's story is told in the form of narration.

OPENING PARAGRAPH

The opening paragraph intrigues the reader as Paul starts out with "The sights and sounds of Tanzania are truly amazing..."

CHARACTERS

Paul is a good hearted person with a good sense of humor. Turns out his parents also share his sense of humor.

FLOW & PACING

The letter kiddingly set up Paul's story, the middle and ending show the reader how Mom and Dad dealt with his tall tales.

In response to "Newsfeed Prompt"

People wish the dead could return because they miss them so much. You knew that, I'm just making an obvious statement saying that. I agree with you though, I seriously doubt the dead wish to return. They're in another place, another existence, with no desire to be back with us. They are probably having too much fun also. Fun, in a different way though, not fun as you and I know it.

In response to "Who stole the treasure?"

My review is based on professional editing points. It is meant to be honest, encouraging, and respectful in accordance with WDC guidelines.

THE STORY

The pirates steal the loot and it's up to Webbie and StephBee to get the treasure back.

WHAT I LIKED

I liked the unique plot involving me and Webbie in saving the treasure.

POV NARRATION/TENSE

This is told in the 3rd person omniscient. Past tense was used appropriately.

DIALOGUE

The dialogue accents the narration.

OPENING PARAGRAPH

The opening paragraph does a good job setting up the dilemma - the treasure is stolen and it's up to Webbie and her faithful Bee to get it back.

CHARACTERS

The witch, the Bee and Jimmy take to the air and sea to find the treasure. They're brave and courageous.

In response to "Who stole the treasure?"

Thanks Ẃebbie֍Christmas To You! and SantaBee (bravehearts both) - I hope Jimmy is a legit suspect, I've had him aid and abet you there!

Prompt is too long for my myopic eyes to plod though, so just picked a name I saw!

In response to "Who stole the treasure?"

You can remove the numbers.
Choose one or more suspects from the list. (Since SantaBee and WW, aren't characters in the mystery scenario.)

You still have time to edit!
You may be the ONLY entry once brought up to rules' standard.

The Cop Shop Mystery MB is up for grabs!
You have 7 days left.

Anyone else reading this ... What are you waiting for? See some previous winners of Cop Shop stories highlighted in the ..."Comedy Newsletter (August 27, 2025)"

It's really not that difficult.

And, it's lots of fun! ...

Eye of the Needle and Mrs. Pollifax

I listened to Ken Follett's EYE OF THE NEEDLE audio book. I'm not usually into spy thrillers but I like Ken Follett, having read some of his a couple of decades ago.

I loved The Of The Needle. The plot, the characters, the research ... extremely well written. I was in the world of the book and stayed with it for a while.

Can't talk of spy thrillers without speaking of my favourite, Mrs. Pollifax. I discovered her in Oct. 2020, listeing to audio books while in lockdown. I've listened to all fourteen books multiple times. My favourite is "Second Thief', followed by "Elusive". The others come down in line, and I don't like "Lion Killer" or "unveiled" as much as the others. I like the character of Mrs. Pollifax a lot. She reminds me of Gallico's Mrs. Harris, whom I adore. (And the same actress plays these two characters in the films!

)

I spy a thriller!
