- Reading
- Try reading a section at a time and pausing to note clues, suspects and unanswered questions. This can make the mystery’s shifting theories easier to follow and leaves room to compare guesses as the investigation develops.
- Themes
- Solving the case: Alice and Iris investigate Brooke’s disappearance and death, with a reward offered for information and suspicion falling on Steve. The setup presents a clue-led mystery, using Christie’s works as a reference point for the girls’ efforts to solve the case.
- An unlikely partnership: Alice teams up with Iris, her tutor, to investigate Brooke’s case; Iris has her own reasons for wanting to disappear. Alice wants to test the suspicion against Steve, while Iris has her own reasons for wanting to disappear; they work together on Brooke’s case.
- Worth knowing
- The central case concerns a girl who has disappeared and is believed to have been killed, and the investigation promises danger. Consider whether a murder mystery and suspenseful investigation feel right for your reader.
