Red Blooded Murder

  1. What do you think of Jane’s dalliances?  Would you be able to handle a spouse’s dalliances?  Are acts of infidelity always wrong or are there gray areas?
  2. What does the book say about monogamy, relationships, sexuality and forgiveness?
  3. What did you think about the scarf, and in particular the symbolism of the color red and the way that Jane sometimes used the scarf?  Did it expose something about her personality?
  4. Does the city of Chicago look different from the back of Izzy’s Vespa?  If you live in Chicago did those scenes make you want to buy one?  Does touring Chicago on a Vespa way give the city more energy, make you feel a sense of freedom?
  5. What did you think of the shifting point of view from first person (in Izzy’s voice) to occasional third person (from Jane’s point of view or that of Zac, Mick, etc.?)
  6. Is there a character in this book you identified with?  One you loved to hate?  One you really love?
  7. Did you guess the murderer’s identity prior to it being revealed?  If not, who did you suspect?
