We keep turning the pages in almost any novel because we want to know the answers to certain questions. The most obvious ones are “Will the protagonists find out who committed the crime?” or “Can the protagonists stop the bad guys in time?” Below I’ve listed some questions specifically on Smasher that I myself enjoy discussing. You’ll probably come up with more. If you would like me to join in on your book group’s discussion, just click the button above and fill out the form.

After Dot Dead came out, I was surprised and delighted to learn how many book clubs had selected it for reading and discussion. I was surprised, too, by how many book club members saw things in the book that I myself had not. So I’m not the final authority, but I’ve still come up with some questions that can help kick off a book group discussion of Dot Dead.
