SuitabookKisses and lies
Lauren Henderson
- Reading
- The book follows an earlier series instalment, so briefly discussing what Scarlett already knows about Dan may help. Pause after major clues to ask which suspect seems credible, without revealing the ending.
- Themes
- Truth-seeking and responsibility: Scarlett and Taylor pursue the person responsible for Dan’s death while Scarlett wrestles with guilt and the wish for closure. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Romance alongside danger: Scarlett experiences romantic moments with Jase while believing she should remain focused on finding Dan’s killer. Romance is presented as part of Scarlett’s conflict of attention and feeling, but its wider treatment is unclear.
- Privilege, secrecy and suspicion: The investigation moves through a posh London nightclub and a wealthy family’s Scottish estate, involving debutantes and deep family secrets. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Consider whether the combination of a death investigation, romantic rendezvous and a dangerous hunt fits the reader’s current mood. The story’s heightened twists may work best for readers comfortable with melodrama.
