It is a cliffhanger! What's going on? A few plot twists, I would say...Very interesting.

And only two more installments. We will have to wait but the plot does thicken.

Happy New Year to all,

A double-whammy cliffhanger no less!

Where is everybody? This week's post gave me chills, i don't have a friend like Tess, but do have one like Whitney, and how is she going to get out of this mess? Laura, you done good...if chills is your goal.

All I could think was "Whitney, Whitney, Whitney, don't do it, don't go with him!!!!!"

Mistakes were made . . . (by Whitney and Tess)

Hi Laura...But we love Tess for her mistakes and she makes us revere Whitney, who is almost always in control...

Oh, gosh, reading these posts I'm more nervous
than I was after I read the installment.

I just thought Laura will write Tess and Whitney's way out of these cliffhangers. I had confidence.

"Where is everybody?"

Oh, we're here. I am sort of holding my breath, in a literary fashion, because I can't imagine how all the loose ends will be tied up in only two more chapters! I was also hoping for a return of Mrs. Blossom, Aunt Kitty, Tull, Jackie and some of the other people of Baltimore that I have come to know and for whom I have a great fondness. Oh dear! What ever will happen???

What Marjorie says - except Heloise RULES!

Say - just finished Baltimore Blues, and enjoyed it very much.....and there is no "but" lumbering toward this sentence!

I simply wanted to add my hearty agreement to M of CT's admiration of Aunt Kitty; she more or less stole every scene she was in. And Tyner Gray.

I didn't like Jonathon, and his (surprisingly quick!)exit made me smile. And I confess - Whitney's charms are lost on me

Brian,

Whitney is, not surprisingly to me, one of the more controversial characters. But my father likes her!

Crow also is controversial. But then -- don't we all have friends whose friends don't necessarily meet with our approval? {g}

Oh - I liked Crow! He had precisely the right attitude toward the women all along (sassy enough, respectful enough, well-read enough, and understanding enough).....but I suppose as I proceed things will become more complex, with regard to him.

Up next is To the Power of Three; so I started with the newest book and followed up with the oldest, and now it's catch as catch can!
