hallo Sara King,
I enjoyed your story incredibly, it's full of imaginition and yet credible, dialogs read like the Elmore leonard dialogs and that is definetly the max
i am going to have to read the rest of this story, as i'm a fan of the ganner and have respect for anybody who could master it which you definetly do.
Good work and excellent writing,
Regards, Firestone

Review of Parkview Hotel  Open in new Window.

Hallo nick Taylor,
I enjoyed reading your story. At first i had a Sherlock Holmes And dr. Watson deja vu feeling, i think the whole story could be better developed. By develope i mean it could be much longer, with more hints on motives, misleading the reader a little bit, that kind of thing.The surrunding description are quite detailed but i could have used more details on the murder scene.
I like that cooleness in that Kolak detective, the way he grasped the scene in the hotel room so quickly, in a way too fast, and immedietly folowing his leads the way he did. I also liked the start of the dialog between the two Nabraska guys..
I thought there was an exaggerated amount of words spent on hotel-rooms, doors clothing, the guy with the menue, the menue - that soort of thing, but it could have been in place if the plot was much longer, when you can read a chapter and rest, and than go back and not really mind another hotel room. I know it all goes around hotels and New York scene but still..
i was surprised by the mild behavior of the New York cops, especially in a murder scene, and a horrible one at that! As a former New Yorker i know they will probably be tougher about a crime scene, and why should mr. Kolak decide to famble the evidence?
I mean did he really think at the time that he'll find the killer so fast?
But than again i thought that was the beauty of the story that it did went faster than i imagined and with a result.. It would take Hercule Puaro longer and Sherlock will try more angles than Kolak ..
We are left with a kind of 'silent of the lambs effect, not knowing what the crazy french man Pierre is going to do next, i hope i won't dream about it tonight.
Good work, Firestone
