Having just read the sequel, oof indeed! Especially when we see how quickly Margo decides that Liz is too boring and Jessica's life would be much more interesting. I wonder how long it would take for Margo to decide she wanted to be Jessica instead. Would she decide to forgo the twin or would she just Senior Year it up and have Liz become more Jess? She'd probably get away with it more in the aftermath of Alice/Ned dying. *muse*
And if Jeffrey was involved, I'm sure Lila would be interested in helping suss the situation! I can just see Lila deciding to impress Jeffrey with how much she's changed, too.
Pretty sure he chose the marina because he was planning to immediately jump on a boat and get out of town Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh... welp, I'm an idiot. All this time I just assumed he'd planned on having Jess hop on the back of his bike and they'd ride off into the storm.
but it also kinda sucks because what's the point of the preceding 5 books?! Wacky hijinks and sideplots that will mean nothing because they'll be abandoned ASAP! And Margo being not as cool as memory made her out to be. So really, just some interesting cover art choices, really.
Maybe the police wouldn't let them near the twins until five hours later because of the death scene? I'm guessing this might be it, though there's no way in SVHell I believe Ned wouldn't get them back to see the girls as soon as they got there, or very soon thereafter, or that Alice wouldn't just move heaven and earth to get through. But this might be the angle being used.
Which still doesn't explain Margo's body lying there for 6/7 hours and somehow she survives for Return. The. Hell.
