Awesome murder mystery. Terrific job keeping all the plot lines driving onward to a suitably hectic climax. 5*
Oh yeah and love the title. Got a mate we call “wing” short for Wingnut for the same reasons...
As usual, I'm reading one of Ausfet's stories way past my bedtime, and I just couldn't put it down. Amazing, twists and turns, utterly plausible yet definitely not where I thought it was going. 5* Everytime, always well-earned.
This story left me midway through page two. It wasn’t making any sense. I didn’t score it.
What a great mystery. I finally read it straight through - because I couldn’t put it down. This should be rereleased tomorrow with the Literotica “Magical Mystery Tour” event. What an interweaving of the three story lines into a complex and exciting plot. And what a group of improbable hero’s - Jason, Audrey and Kyle. But in the end my heart goes to Amanda, and of course, Erin! You’ve outdone yourself.
I read this when it first came out and I just gave it second read to pick up trade craft ideas. The plot is complex with many characters and subplots but in the end Ausfet wraps it all up in a bow as you would expect a good author to do. But, it kept me reading and guessing right to the end. It bears a second read.
Sorry, but there was nothing to catch my attention in the first half page, so I bailed. If a story, any story, doesn’t “grab” me early I lose interest fast. Not the writer’s fault, I know, maybe I just have a short attention span. Anyway, thanks, but no, thanks.
I have now read then all and enjoyed every one. Keep up the excellent work.
Obviously, this extremely intelligent, well crafted and written tale would have been far too much for you. Couldn't hack it beyond half a page?? How on earth did you expect to manage 13 pages. You'd have probably shrivelled up into a dry, whimpering husk. Authors of ausfet's quality deserve our respect. Not unqualified respect but certainly far more than someone with blatant issues who commits the unforgivable sin of a moronic comment to compensate for his(probably) stupidity. This really is a brilliantly crafted plot (plus sub-plots) woven together with loving care for atmosphere and the excruciating foibles of the human species. A five is a forgone conclusion :-)

A good Who Done It, with well defined characters. The only down side was that Robbie's recordings weren't played at the next family party and give Audrey some closure.
