I believe the answer is:

cliffhanger

(Other definitions for cliffhanger that I've seen before include "it keeps everyone in suspense" , "Exciting novel or film" , "tense ending to episode" , "Dramatic ending" , "where one's not quite losing face?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
