Query: Half and Half

I thoroughly enjoyed the first four books about Tesser and her extended family. Lippman develops such great characters that you want to know what happens to them. With The Sugar House, however, I enjoyed everything until the resolution of the situation. I hope this isn't a spoiler, but I just couldn't see that big, everyone-in-one-room scene actually playing out that way. On the positive side, I am encouraged that Lippman refuses to let her characters remain static from book to book. I look forward to reading the next in the series, In a Strange City.
