Update to "The Long Way Home"

The whole truth has not come out yet.

However, here is what we know from Chapter 35 of "Looking for Answers"

Then he read the report.  It did not contain photographs, which made it still incomplete, but nonetheless there were toxicology reports.  No sign of sexual activity, no drugs in his system, no signs of a struggle, no bruises.  He read quickly, scanning for the thing he needed so badly to know.  Massive injury to the back of the skull, caused by large blunt object.  A wrench, a hammer... something.  Not a facial, jaw, or neck injury.

Zucchini11 called it, and gets the "false confession" award.  Now I would have thought you guys would be on the alert since the false confession of John Mark Karr on the JonBenet Ramsey case.

Too bad those readers who decided to stop reading didn't wait for the rest of the story.

Silly me. Like Ellery I forgot the details of the autopsy. (slaps forehead)

Am on serious tenterhooks here. Hope we don't have to wait till tomorrow to find out what's in the written confession.

Mmmm... must try and do some work today. Does a Laramie Saga addiction count as gainful employment?

Okay, so just ignore that last post of mine. LOL

Seriously, my thoughts on the awfulness of murder still stand. And no matter what we find out about Jack--especiallly if he didn't have sex with Worrell, which seems to be what everyone wants--it still is not going to be pleasant. My 2 cents.

My eyes nearly fell off reading chapter 32, you really tricked us good.  I can't wait for the next chapter, don't know how it'll pan out.

Poor Jack. That was really heartwrenching Louise. Like you said, it,s pity all those who decided to stop reading didnt wait before passing judgement. Cant someone put rat poison in Worrells IV drip? The sooner that evil slimey shit dies the better.

I finished Shelter From the Storm and today I'm starting the next book 'The Long Way Home'.

I'm excited!  Trying to avoid spoilers and looking ahead, which is no easy task.  :-)

RL is currently an annoying interruption of my reading of this wonderful, incredible saga.  Am I too obsessed?  Will I ever catch up?  LOL.

Navy I am amazed you are starting the new book today!  Pretty soon you'll be sitting here tapping your fingers like all the rest of them saying "did you update yet?"

Yes, Spoilers, people, we  have NEW READERS here.  I forgot too.
