Book Groups

Reasons why Danger At the Gates is a terrific choice for a Book Group:

  1. All four of the Alice Ott mysteries are page-turners! Fast-paced adventure keeps the reader engaged, entertained, and staying up past bed-time.
  2. Alice Ott, amateur sleuth, is a compelling role model – elderly but feisty, she is a wizard on line; she follows the call of her conscience and her taste for adventure.
  3. Throughout the Alice Ott mysteries, the geography changes. The reader enjoys the comfort of rural towns in New England, and then cycles through into the dark confines of a laboratory at Ft. Detrick, Maryland. Alice takes her readers from the farmland of rural New England overshadowed by the menacing chill of a looming nuclear power plant, into the intricate secrets of a sunny nursing home, the underground transport of undocumented immigrants to the Canadian border, and into the close confinement of those unsafe in their own homes.
  4. While learning about the very real dangers in our contemporary world, the humor of the characters and the quirky twists of the stories will keep readers laughing out loud.
  5. Alice Ott is someone you will want to keep hearing from: regular blogs by Alice, and previews of the fifth book in the Alice Ott trilogy, ensure that this is a character who isn’t going to disappear!

Sample questions for book group discussion:

  1. How does Alice Ott challenge stereotypes about older people? Do you know anyone like Alice Ott?
  2. What stays with you as you read about Alice and her friends? Have you experienced friendships that led you to be bolder and take more risks than usual?
  3. What are your responses to the complex romance of Alice Ott and her long-lost lover Gerard? How do you feel about Alice’s struggle to protect her relationship with Gerard while staying true to her commitments as a perennial activist?
  4. Do you identity with any of the characters in the book?
  5. How do you see yourself as a “concerned citizen’?
  6. What issues do you think Alice Ott is likely to take on in the future?
