QUESTIONS AND TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION

Grab Your Badge, Pour a Strong One, and Let’s Get Into It

This ain’t your average book club. Around here, we don’t sip tea and discuss feelings — we chase leads, dissect motives, and hunt down twists before they come back to bite us. Ready to put your sleuthing skills to the test?

WEEK 1: FIRST IMPRESSIONS & EARLY CLUES

Question 1 – Chapter 3:
We’ve barely cracked the spine, and already there’s a twist — Pig’s love life just got a whole lot more colorful. Turns out Pig plays for both teams and is proudly bisexual.

👉 Does this add complexity to his character? Do you think it challenges the usual stereotypes of a ‘masculine army brat,’ or does it just make Pig even more Pig?

Question 2 – General:
You’ve had time to meet the players. Who’s your favorite character so far — and why?

WEEK 2: TRUST, TOILETS & TANGLED TRUTHS

Question 3 – Chapter 10:
Benson’s Statutory Declaration is in — but is it legit?

👉 Do you think Benson’s guilty, or is someone pulling his strings? Discuss your theory and poke holes where you can.

Question 4 – Chapter 12:
Suzie and Mort under the same roof — what could possibly go wrong? Especially with a firm called Dunnies Law (talk about setting the bar low).

👉 Do you think working together will strengthen or strain their relationship? Place your bets.

WEEK 3: TWISTS, TURNS & MORAL DILEMMAS

Question 5 – General:
We’re halfway in — what’s your take so far? Did AJ Wilton catch you off guard with any plot twists, or did you see them coming like a bad alibi?

Question 6 – Chapter 15:
When Mort hands Suzie’s business card to the wife of the man holding Suzie at gunpoint, Pig can’t believe his ears.
‘You sure about that?’
‘Nah, but Suzie’ll see a woman in distress and go full support mode.’

👉 If you were Suzie, would you help Beth? Did Mort and Suzie make the right call not telling her the truth about her husband’s death? Why or why not?

WEEK 4: FINAL SHOWDOWN & WILD THEORIES

Question 7 – General:
You’ve been in the trenches long enough — what’s been your favorite moment so far?

Question 8 – Chapter 33:
Things are heating up and Marissa’s mysterious ‘Jeffy’ has everyone talking.

👉 Who do you think Jeffy is? How’s he tied to Liz’s death? And the big one — who killed Liz? Lay out your case.

Question 9 – Chapter 39:
Mort and Pig survived a nail-biting car chase and a clusterfuck assassination attempt. They’re good — but everyone’s got a weak spot.

👉 If someone wanted to take Mort and Pig down, what’s their Achilles heel?

Question 10 – General:
That’s a wrap on Book 2 — what do you think’s coming next for Mort and the gang? Got any wild predictions?
