Our bookclub is reading The Kind Worth Killing next month but we can't find any discussion questions for readers. Do you know where we could find some? Also any suggestions for ideas or activities related to the book/plot to make it a fun meeting? Thanks!
Peter Swanson
Here are some questions that were used in the Richard and Judy Book Club in the UK:
• Discuss the character of Lily and her initial motivations in striking up a conversation with Ted?
• Everyone in this novel seems to have a secret - discuss the idea that you can never really know another person.
• This novel has been described as ‘hard to put down’. How does Peter Swanson create the feeling of suspense in the novel?
• Do you think that this novel proves that everyone is capable of doing bad things?
Personally, I think a fun activity would be to have a signature drink at the book club meeting. Maybe a Hendricks martini! That would be my choice. Hope it goes well. Cheers, Peter

Peter Swanson:
PART TWO: When Ted visits Brad, the magazines are lined up with the coffee table. When Lily visits Brad the magazines are fanned out. Because we’re told that Brad’s place is very clean and organized, it would be unusual that he would change the way the magazines are arranged on the table. Is there any meaning or symbolism to this? Just wondering! Thanks.
