SuitabookThe Lifeguard
Richie Tankersley Cusick
- Reading
- Read alongside the opening chapters if the threatening atmosphere feels intense, pausing to discuss which details are clues and which motives remain uncertain. Revisit the ending afterwards, since its resolution is not established here.
- Themes
- Trust and protection: The book addresses trust and protection; the detail of how it is developed remains unclear. The book leaves its stance open to more than one reading.
- Mystery and danger: A note from a missing girl, a troubling lighthouse encounter and suspicious drownings turn a planned holiday into a threatening mystery. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Expect a tense atmosphere rather than an uncomplicated holiday story. Before reading, consider whether your reader is comfortable with missing-person imagery, suspicious deaths and protectors whose intentions may be uncertain.
