Danse Macabre - St Mary of the Rock, Beram |
However, with this chapter the plot is slowly starting to gain contour. So far there has been a lot of scene setting but here we are beginning to approach the heart of the story which is quite exciting. This means that my next chapter will be chapter 7, where Celia will be in Croatia for the first time and starts to think that her brother may be alive after all. Hmmh!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy chapter 5 and please send me comments. I look forward to them.
For new readers - the story so far:
Celia Thomas works as a fine art restorer in Munich. Sixteen years previously her brother Ned Atkinson - a journalist - was killed during the fighting in Bosnia Herzegovina. Celia has no reason to believe that this was anything other than a dreadful accident but there is in fact more to his death than meets the eye.
In this chapter Celia is asked by her boss to meet a wealthy Croatian businessman who wants her help.
Chapter 5 can now be found in 'Good Stuff' on the right.

Hi James,
ReplyDeletethis is a very promising chapter! I like the way things start in mundane life. And at the same time one already feels that something awful lurks behind the corner. The description of Mr. Kaiec as a very distinguished, even likeable business man with an interesting family history serves this purpose very well.
Let's see what lies in wait for your readers!
