My congrats to all. If I can give an extra yahoo, yea Cece on Decidedly Dead placing among the Top 15 in Level 2. I absolutely loved that one and I was hoping this morning when I didn't see it with a ribbon, that'd I would see it here. I'm so glad for you, well done.

Angela, congrats on your placement and name on this list as well. I bet you are dreaming cream puffs! Congrats, very well deserved.

Congrats to all, these entries were amazing, I was able to peek in every category and honestly, I saw Master level work in Level 1. Some real gifted folks out there!!!

I finished 16th ?? Wow, I thought it was just rubbish (wasn't even good enough to hint.)

I really should learn... the ones I like don't win, and the others do better than I think they should and some even win.

Congrats to everyone. I proudly assume my role at 200th or so, even if there were less than that. Some really nice mystery writing last week.
