Multiple Stories

It is hard for me as the reader, to keep all of Tom’s stories in line. I can only imagine how hard Tom’s brain is working to remember who he told what, about who. There are now so many pieces to the puzzle that it’s astonishing that some have not yet been revealed. Tom clearly has a mind for this type of drama. He has the skill to be calm under such stressful situation. In chapter 17, Tom speaks with the police and has his address released in the newspaper as Dickie Greenleaf’s address. The fact that his address is now publicized has made it possible for friends of Dickie to contact him. Tom has a lot of work ahead of him to keep the same story straight to everybody.
