In the Club
Antonio Pagliarulo
- Reading
- You could read together and pause after the discovery to discuss clues, suspects and what the sisters know versus assume. Check in about the crime scene if its treatment feels unsettling.
- Themes
- Taking on a murder investigation: After a classmate is found dead, the sisters suspect the case is not as straightforward as it first appears and pursue the mystery themselves. The premise sets up a contrast between the sisters' suspicions and their doubts about the police, but does not establish whether their actions are portrayed as wise or successful.
- Wealth and status: The sisters have a sizable inheritance and are associated with designer bags, an expensive club and a family business. These details make wealth and status visible parts of the premise, but their treatment as admirable, satirical or otherwise is not established.
- Worth knowing
- A classmate is found dead with a bloody wound to the head, and the plot centres on murder. The degree of detail or intensity in the scene is not clear.
