Jessica asked Laurien Berenson:

Do you have book discussion questions for Peg and Rose Solve a Murder that you'd be willing to share? I would love to bring that book to my book group.

Laurien Berenson Hi Jessica,
Thanks for asking! I would love for you to bring my book to your book club. Here are some potential questions for discussion:

Discussion Questions for Peg and Rose Solve A Murder

1. Peg and Rose are two very different women from very different backgrounds. Which one of them do you identify with more?
2. An event that happened decades earlier is at the center of the animosity between the two women ever since. Which side would you have taken in that dispute, or do you feel that both women handled themselves poorly?
3. Are Peg and Rose believable acting as senior sleuths, or is this potentially dangerous undertaking best left to people who are younger and might be better suited to the task?
4. Peg and Rose learn a lot about each other over the course of the book, and this causes them to make changes to their own behavior. Has something you’ve learned about another person ever caused you to modify your perception of them?
5. Peg deciding to bring Esmeralda home with her for further socialization turns out to be a pivotal moment in the book. Have you ever adopted a pet, and if so, did your pet struggle to adapt to its new situation in life?
6. What do you think of Peter? His support of Rose is unwavering—but he is, at heart, a counselor--which means he still feels obliged to point out when she is wrong. In a spouse, is that a good thing or a bad thing?

I hope those work for you and your book club!
Laurien
