Started reading? Here are some questions for you
- Joyce was a nurse, Elizabeth was in the secret service, Ibrahim was a psychiatrist, and Ron was a trade union leader. Who do you think was most helpful in solving the crime? What strengths did they each bring to the table?
- Who did you think the killer was? What made you think it was them?
- If you had to solve a murder, which three people—could be friends, family, celebrities—would you choose to help you solve it?
- Who do you like best: Joyce, Elizabeth, Ibrahim or Ron? Why?
- Joyce is always baking, and the others are always eating. The next question is simple: What is the best cake?
