Responding to: 6. What was the biggest/coolest plot twist in the story?

Wow, so many great responses. @Zoe, this may be the best discussion question yet.

I’ll add a variation of the Logan twist: It was such a surprise when it becomes clear the FBI has been on the scene all along–but not surveilling the “Whitfields.”

And maybe the most unexpected plot twist of all: When Junior listens to his son and turns straight. 

Whichever plot twist was biggest, @Logan has some good analysis: What sells the “twist” isn’t just what happens, it’s how the characters react. Trey’s outrage, Junior’s nonchalance. The action is fun, but caring about the characters makes this story great.

Whoa, @Jade. Ferdinand Waldo Demara Jr. sounds fascinating. I’ll check into his story.
