Awww yes! I was so happy when I saw you were back and oh my word, back with a vengeance <3

Your two open sentences, bam. You really know how to make an entrance and get someone dying to find out what happens, and then you continue, your opening paragraph is just a wonderful example of addressing the elements of the first half ready to build on them, you draw your lines in the dirt for what proves to be one hell of ending.

You just continue with these amazing, direct punchy sentences

The first time you kill someone it is hard. But by the third, it isn’t.

bam, right in the gut. I really enjoyed the story you tell here, the dark turns you don't shy away from are delightful. The exchange between Kent and Dankworth over coffee, the undercurrent between them... did Kent kill Ian Dankworth... or did fate really move her hand. Then how you end it, he very much has got away with it, and now you have me thinking about it, seven murders to never have see someone I didn't want to again doesn't sound like such a crazy high price haha

Very glad you made it to this round, hope you get chance to catch us again (or maybe even tell a story to me - I know that may be hoping for too much, but can't blame a girl for hoping haha )
