Very nice read on Chapter 2 Heidi! I'm an optimist so a glass of Ginger Ale is always half-full. ;)

Have you had a glass of the ginger ale that is made by the ginger snails of Quebec? :)

That I have not tried! I may have to take a drive over to Gatineau though and begin the search. :)

Great chapter Heidi - lots of clues bringing lots of questions!

Does the wire lead to deceit?

'Old Money' to blame?

Snug in a pub and ginger ale! A warm fire and a cosy armchair! Perfect for the next instalment of your mystery, critters! 🥰

"Ancestral voltage" is an interesting concept! Have to think on that one. . . Love your characters. ❤️

WOW! What a KA-ZAP of a cliffhanger! I had one of the THREE YEAR OLD degus escape today, and by "escape" I mean, jumped on my shoulders and scooted down my right side. When the live trap caught him, he was COVERED in COBWEBS. This means I will not see them at my human height and will have to go scooting around like a degu in my basement to find them, if I want to clean them.

Thank you, Squizz! KA-ZAP is right! But enough of fiction, that is a real life harrowing experience with the 3 year old Degu! And back in the basement, no less! Please, be very very careful!
