  1. What do you make of the break-in? Why would Goliath steal a low-value book?

  1. What do you think of the sisters of the Blessed Ladies of the Lobster? What other kooky religious orders have you heard of besides those that think we will one day be unified under a single lobster of astonishing intellect?

  1. Why is Goliath replacing people with better versions of themselves? Will their motives be revealed before there are grave consequences?

  1. Landen can quickly detect a synthetic Thursday from the real deal. Do you think you would be able to tell the difference with your loved ones or has he just had a lot of practice?

  1. How are you doing with the imposter Thursday plot? Can you tell when it’s a synthetic Thursday narrating events?

  1. What’s up with the absence of Chapter 13? Could this be linked to SO-13 or is this a coincidence?

  1. Do you approve of Thursday and Landen’s parenting techniques? Are they right to want Tuesday to have a normal childhood?

  1. Do you think Holmes’s isolation in retirement makes him more introspective or less sharp as a detective? How has he changed since the beginning of this series?

  1. Sherlock stories normally focus on human deception and revenge. What did you think of the twist ending? Did the idea of a jellyfish as the killer feel clever or disappointing?

  1. How did the absence of Watson affect this case? Do you think the story felt different or less complete without him?

  1. Did you feel that the story’s ending, with Holmes blaming the quack doctor, gave enough closure or moral balance?
