The Extra is Rita Farmer Mystery #2



These questions don't have right or wrong answers—they're just things to think over and have fun with in your group discussion.


  1. Should Rita allow Petey to get a dog?

  2. Is Rita generous or a push-over to let Gina share her apartment?

  3. People who feel they can't call the police for help can be terribly vulnerable. What should they do?

  4. Have you ever witnessed a violent crime? Did you get involved?

  5. Is Amaryllis harsh not to give people more than one chance?

  6. Would it be better if street people with mental illness were involuntarily hospitalized? Should they be forced to take their medications?

  7. If you were Amaryllis what's the first thing you'd do with Khani's donation?

  8. Do Rita and George Rowe make a good team?

  9. Forgiveness can be very hard if the offense was terrible. How long do you hold a grudge?

  10. Have you ever wished you could change your appearance and pass as a very different person?

  11. Is Diane Keever a good person or a bad person?

  12. Was The Extra as exciting as The Actress? Was it funnier? More thought provoking?
