Discussion Questions
Use our LitLovers Book Club Resources; they can help with discussions for any book:
• How to Discuss a Book (helpful discussion tips)
• Generic Discussion Questions—Fiction and Nonfiction
• Read-Think-Talk (a guided reading chart)
Also consider these LitLovers talking points to help get a discussion started for Loitering with Intent:
1. What kind of character is Evan Keating? Why does he seem to be the target of other's schemes?
2. Why is Evan so illusive and then uncooperative when Stone finally tracks him down? What did you come to suspect about Evan? Do his alibi's pan out...or is he lying?
3. What is the reason that Evan's girlfriend attacks Stone? Is an explanation ever offered?
4. How 'bout that Swedish doctor? An charming diversion to the plot...or tiresome and dispensible?
5. At what point did you begin to suspect that Warren Keating might be on the up and up? Were you stumped by all the twists and turns the story takes?
6. Do you find the ending satisfying...does it wrap up all the loose ends and offer a few suprises along the way? Or did you find the end predictable...with a few explanations still missing?
