Wonderful! So gently written, so calm, and yet so seductive! If that makes sense at all. What you wrote about being silent and listening - I feel this in your writing. You have been silent in your head and allowed the words to come in gently, and softly. Sounds a bit mad when I write this, but when I think for words to describe this bit of writing, I get calm, quiet, complete, and I want to know more about the detective! Not so much about the victim. But I know from this section that I will enjoy the rest of the book.

And I am under no illusion that you just threw these words onto the page - they were delicately crafted, with the meaning and feeling of each word, very carefully considered! And you went over them and over them until they were just perfect and said exactly what you wanted them to say, with no hint of possibility that the reader might misinterpret what you wanted to say. :-)
