The Blues of Portsmouth P.D.

Your author would like to make three points. First, he believes if he can visualize the exciting climax occurring in the last chapter of a book, he can write the chapters leading up to that ending. Not so with The Last House on the Left. You author thought that the title could lead to an exciting plot he started writing without an ending in sight—a different approach. We will let you decide if it worked. Second, the plot did develop. The series of murders occurred when the leader of a Russian mafia heroin connection was trying to eliminate anyone implicating him. The Portsmouth cop prevailed, and this success in episode 6 led to the unexpected ending in the last chapter of episode 8, The New Guy in Town. This led to episode 8, Is Nappy Back in Town, and a new plot development. Instead of one police squad trying to solve one crime, partners of an experienced officer and a rookie are trying to solve one of several crimes all happening at once. Third, your author added a new character, Madison “Madi” March, a rookie who was hired for her forensic skills. If the title The Last House on the Left was not so important to the plot of episode 6, Introducing Madison “Madi” March would a better title.
