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.
|
- Should Rita allow Petey to get a dog?
- Is Rita generous or a push-over to let Gina share her apartment?
- People who feel they can't call the police for help can be terribly vulnerable. What should they do?
- Have you ever witnessed a violent crime? Did you get involved?
- Is Amaryllis harsh not to give people more than one chance?
- Would it be better if street people with mental illness were involuntarily hospitalized? Should they be forced to take their medications?
- If you were Amaryllis what's the first thing you'd do with Khani's donation?
- Do Rita and George Rowe make a good team?
- Forgiveness can be very hard if the offense was terrible. How long do you hold a grudge?
- Have you ever wished you could change your appearance and pass as a very different person?
- Is Diane Keever a good person or a bad person?
- Was The Extra as exciting as The Actress? Was it funnier? More thought provoking?
