With consequences both brutal and mighty, they can only hope to stay alive.

QUESTIONS AND TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION
More Justice. More Chaos. More Mort.
The gang’s crossed the Pacific, and things are about to get messy. From dodging FBI suits to navigating cultural confusion (who knew ‘thong’ meant something different here?), Mort and the crew are in for one hell of a ride — and you’re invited to help crack the case.
WEEK 1: FIRST IMPRESSIONS & FOREIGN TERRITORY
Question 1 – Chapter 3:
Mort and his team have landed in the Big Apple, and let’s face it — subtlety was never their strong suit.
👉 How do you think these Aussies will handle themselves in the US? What cultural tripwires are they bound to stumble over — and which ones might work in their favor?
Question 2 – General:
Love is in the air… somewhere between the surveillance gigs and late-night takeout.
👉 Who’s your favorite couple so far — and why do they work (or don’t)?
WEEK 2: ALLIANCES, ALIASES & JUST A BIT OF DANGER
Question 3 – Chapter 8:
The team’s considering working with the FBI — which, if you’ve been paying attention, is basically like hugging a snake and hoping for the best.
👉 They’ve used prepaid Visas, burner phones, disguises and a few less-than-legal tricks before — what do you think they’ll pull out of their bag this time?
Question 4 – Chapter 10:
Suzie’s not sitting this one out — danger be damned.
👉 Is Suzie’s insistence on staying in the mix a sign of strength and resolve, or is she one risk away from sinking the whole mission? Where do you stand?
WEEK 3: THE PERFECT PLAN (OR IS IT?)
Question 5 – Chapter 14:
Disguises, plans, backup plans — Mort’s team has it all. Or do they?
👉 What potential cracks do you see in their strategy? Is there one fatal flaw that could blow the whole thing sky-high?
Question 6 – General:
Three books deep — we need to know.
👉 How does Mortice in America stack up to the rest of the series? Is it your favorite yet, or is there another that still holds the crown?
WEEK 4: UNANSWERED QUESTIONS & UNEXPECTED TWISTS
Question 7 – General:
We’re closing in on the end — and Mort’s wife’s killer is still out there.
👉 Who’s your prime suspect? Give us your best theory — wild, plausible, or somewhere in between.
Question 8 – Chapter 22:
As the team inches closer to their target, obstacles start stacking up like empty coffee cups.
👉 How do these unexpected twists shake up the team dynamic? Could they have planned better — or is this just how Mort’s luck rolls?
WEEK 5: VULNERABILITIES & WHAT COMES NEXT
Question 9 – Chapter 25:
Mort and Pig have proven they can adapt under pressure — but even they aren’t bulletproof.
👉 If you were plotting against them, what’s their Achilles’ heel? What weakness could their enemies exploit if they’re smart enough to see it?
Question 10 – General:
The end of one book just sets the stage for the next.
👉 What do you think is coming in the next installment of the Mort series? Bold predictions, wild theories — drop ‘em all.
Got a Theory, a Hot Tip, or Just Want to Show Off Your Sleuthing Skills?
Share your answers, theories, and bold predictions — because in Mort’s world, every clue counts and no theory’s too crazy until it’s true.
