I noticed there is a Gibson Vaughn #2. Does The Short Drop have a cliffhanger? Can this be read as a stand-alone book?

Carol No I am very happy to say it does NOT end with a cliffhanger. The ending is very satisfying.

I kept waiting for the big revelation about the Phillies baseball cap and the flashback to the Orioles baseball game that Duke took Gibson and Suzanne to as children. Why was Gibson so focused on the hat? Why was Suzanne acting so out of character at that game?

I'm confused. Is Gibson Susanne 's older brother? In chapter 6 it talks about Gibson reading a book to "bear". That is Susanne correct?

Scott No. Just a family friend and not her older brother. "Bear" is his nickname for Suzanne.…moreNo. Just a family friend and not her older brother. "Bear" is his nickname for Suzanne.(less)
