Red White & Dead

1. Izzy has a strong connection to Rome, Italy. Do you have a connection like that to any city or any country?
2. What do you think of Theo? In particular, how do you feel about Izzy dating someone younger (Izzy is 30, Theo 22)? Would their eight year gap be as big a difference at ages 40 and 32? Or 50 and 42?
3. Did you know about the Camorra or the other factions of the Italian mafia other than the Cosa Nostra (which had made famous by the Godfather movies)? (For those interested in the Camorra, a book was written about the topic called Gomorrah (by Roberto Saviano) and is also a film by the same name).
4. What did you think of Elena, Izzy’s aunt? As she disclosed to Izzy her part in the history of their family, could you understand why she had made certain choices?
5. What do you envision happening in the future with Theo and Izzy? What about Izzy and Sam?
6. What do you think Izzy should do with her professional career?
7. How do you think Izzy’s mother and brother will react to the events that transpired in the book?
