SuitabookHighway to hell
Rosemary Clement-Moore
- Reading
- Check in after the early deaths and stalking incidents, then discuss whether the mystery feels exciting, frightening or upsetting. After finishing, compare the characters’ difficult choices with the author’s emphasis on kindness, honesty and generosity.
- Themes
- Choosing what is right: The author describes characters facing choices between doing what is easy and doing what is right, including kindness over hateful words and honesty when unobserved. The stated ethical framework gives the supernatural adventure a moral dimension without showing how every decision is resolved.
- Friendship under pressure: Maggie and Lisa are stranded together while investigating danger, and the synopsis says that even Maggie’s closest ally does not want to admit what may be happening. The available synopsis does not establish how the story develops or resolves the friendship.
- Supernatural explanations: Maggie has psychic abilities, while the story invokes demons and a possible journey down a “highway to hell”. The story’s supernatural elements contribute to the mystery, while their precise relationship to moral questions or real-world explanations remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The central danger involves dead cattle, strange bite marks, a predator and a rising body count. The spring-break setting includes a bikini, a beachfront hotel and an absent boyfriend; the extent of romance or sexual content is unclear.
