In suspense (2,11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

on tenterhooks

'in suspense' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for on tenterhooks that I've seen before include "In agitated suspense" , "Keyed up in anticipation" , "In impatient suspense" , "In great suspense" , "Nervously expectant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the Wall Street Journal and the USA Today.
