- Reading
- Follow the different strands as you read: the photograph mystery, Eva’s audition, and the favour for Jeremy. Pause when they intersect and notice which details seem relevant to the mystery.
- Themes
- A mystery alongside everyday pressures: The missing-photograph puzzle runs alongside the central character’s efforts to manage friendships, help Eva with an audition and do Jeremy a favour. The story is structured around several concurrent concerns rather than the mystery alone.
- Worth knowing
- A character is suspected of stealing, and the central character is trying to convince friends she is not a kleptomaniac. Consider whether accusations or distrust between peers might feel uncomfortable.
