Thanks for the reviews of my first 300 words of "The Princeton Murders"!

I'm grateful for all the thoughtful reviews I've gotten so far of my novel in progress. You all have given me valuable insights I hadn't considered. Please know that I appreciate that for so many of you, this was not an easy read. I'm not done writing this book yet, so more of you will have to read some more of it. Sorry. But I'll try to make it worth your while.<br><br>I plan to continue weaving this story into as many of the lives around Princeton as I can, and I've gotten lots of great ideas from you already.<br><br>In case you're wondering, here's a little background for this novel:<br><br>I've lived in Princeton for 25 years, and in that time I've learned a great deal of the history and stories of the town that no one ever talks about. When I first moved here as a beginner lawyer, I was thrilled to learn that my new house had been built by a prior owner who wanted to prove he could build a house with no corners. So the whole house is curved for that reason, not an accident of the lot boundaries. I lived in that house for 12 years. I still miss it. Only 3 people I knew in town knew that detail about the house. I've lived in Princeton for 25 years and can see the beauty and intelligence of the town beyond the academic world. It's a great place to live. <br><br>This story is based on real life events. There were two murders in Princeton, one in 1887 and one in 2016. In both cases, two beautiful college aged women who were Princeton's darlings were stabbed to death at Princeton by two uncoordinated and friendless men who have no prior history of assault. Both women had dark hair of the same length. Both women left Princeton for a time and then returned. The two murders were separated by 129 years. No one was ever charged in the first case. But the second led to the immediate arrest of a suspect. I started writing this story because I became fascinated by the stories and took a close look at the facts. Both victims had long dark hair of the same length. Both had left Princeton as adults and returned before their deaths. Both murders were committed with knives but the killers seemed to be oblivious to their surroundings. Both killers were arrested without a struggle.<br><br>I got fascinated by this. But I was convinced that both murders were committed by the same killer, using a different human body each time. So I wrote "The Princeton Murders." Please keep reading and reviewing if you're interested.
