[COMPLETE] An Exchange of Souls by Barry Pain
oh-oh now our narrator puts himself in a very awkward position. A man like Vulsame could get the idea of blackmailing him with this incident for the rest of his life to extort more money out of him. I'm not sure this was a good move.
I had to laugh out loud when Vulsame said a doctor had to be temperate looks who's talking !
Well, Chapter 9 PL ok. Well done again, and I'm curious what will unfold further...
and we're at 50% done

yes this chapter only reinforces my belief that Myas is a bodysnatcher I bet when Mrs Lade arrives in America, she will find that her brother never wrote to her and his wife is still in good health.
I found a very minor thing, it sounds a bit odd grammatically, but maybe not important enough to change, your choice:
> at 4:39: "I could have sworn to as the handwriting of Daniel Myas" (p. 141 top) - you said "to be as", which is somehow an unneeded doubling

well, interesting. This letter basically corroborates my suspicions, but with a twist. So Myas did not really kill Alice intentionally, but he only wanted the switch for a short time, and then unfortunately, his body died and now poor Alice is probably buried alive, so to speak. Unless the soul dies when it is inside a dead body.
I am not quite convinced though that Myas really wants to switch his own soul back into his dead body, knowing full well that he would be dead then. Especially since he cannot be sure that Alice's soul would return alive and healthy.
Excellent chapter, yet again, and totally PL ok this time.

I knew Vulsame would try to blackmail Compton the moment he volunteered to withhold evidence for him in court. I think Compton really dealt with him the way he deserved. Nicely narrated, you even managed to make Vulsame sound a few sheets to the winds
Another chapter PL ok. We're fast reaching the end here. I wonder, will Myas's soul go into his dead body in the end and revive the real Alice ?

ah now this brings a twist to the whole situation. So he seems to change more and more into Myas again. Interesting. Well if all else fails, he can live his life that way, disguised as a man.
Excellent chapter yet again, and PL ok. And I'm really curious how it will continue in Gloucestershire.
