Thank you. I'll go with the Mae West quote: 'When I'm good I'm very, very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better.'

Your trademark style, delivered with the usual flair. A seemingly casual start with a creeping incursion of the supernatural terminating in a thumping emotional punch that reframes everything. Many writers achieve far less with a lot more.

My creative writing tutors always said, Keep it succinct, concise. Better still, short.

Revenge and sex; two great motivators and the basis for a good story.

I've added an extra final line which hints there may be more to come. 'Back in the living room, Jean lifted the falcon down from the top of the bookcase. “Come, me beauty,” she said softly. “It’s time to hunt.”'
