Also consider these LitLovers talking points to help get a discussion started for Death at Wentworth Court:
1. Mystery stories are all about withholding information from the reader in order to deliver a surprise at the end. Were you surprised by the ending...in other words, did Carola Dunn deliver a good mystery?
2. It's fun in to trace the clues, which authors drop surreptitiously, like bread crumbs, along the way. What are the clues Dunn provides? In other words, as a reader, what do you know...and when do you know it?
3. Good mysteries also dish out red herrings—false clues to divert attention from the real solution. What are the red-herrings in Wentwater Court...and did you fall for them?
4. Readers find Daisy a particluarly likeable herion. Do you agree; if so, what makes her such a delightful character?
5. Do you find the other characters believable? Are they well-developed, complex personalities?
