Welcome folks! No spoilers please, and let’s keep things cordial.

Discussion Prompts

1. Well, a guy who doesn’t introduce himself and doesn’t say much doesn’t really leave a whole lot to discuss. We should give him a name.
2. Were you getting any sort of vibes from this chapter? What genre do you feel like this will fall into? Is there a certain type you’re hoping for?
3. Anything you’d like to say about Mrs. Hall? Do you enjoy Innkeepers who won’t leave you be and forget the mustard?
4. On the topic of mustard, whats a food that must absolutely have mustard? Are people who don’t like mustard to be trusted?
5. Hopefully the ball gets rolling on this one, but until then let’s speculate. Mrs. Hall assumes the visitor was in some sort of accident. What’s a ridiculous reason why someone would feel the need to cover up?
6. Is there anything else you’d like to discuss?
