Thanks so much for considering Fool Me Once as a reading selection for your club. Below you will find some discussion questions that you might find useful. And, if you enjoy Fool Me Once, please remember to tell a friend or two. A word of mouth recommendation from a booklover like yourself is the ultimate compliment!

1) Do you know someone who is working in one occupation, when they might be better suited for another? If so, would that person agree with your assessment?

2) What are the events that spur Carly Stone’s transformation from mediator to warrior, and ultimately, her career change? Which event gave her the ‘final push’?

3) In similar circumstances, would you (or your children) turn to family for support while regrouping?

4) Did you like or dislike the relationship between Carly and her sister, Jenny? Why?

5) Did you find Robert to be a believable character? If yes, is it realistic that Carly could have married him to begin with – without being aware of his true nature?

6) From Carly’s point of view, what role did Trent play? Did he confuse matters? Help things? Provide clarification on her feelings for Robert?

7) At what point did you figure out who the murderer was?

8) Would you rather read a story that takes place in a real locale, or a fictitious town? Or, do you have no preference – meaning that it would depend on the story?

9) Does the fact that Fool Me Once is set in Charleston, South Carolina add something to the story? If you’ve never been, is Charleston a place you’d like to visit?

10) How would you categorize the book? Southern fiction? Mystery? Chick Lit? Something else?
