I am so glad that this is the first in a series, as I really want to know what the characters in this novel are up to next. I have fallen in love with all of them, but they are not grandparently types, in the least. There is intelligence, snark, manipulation, stubbornness, blackmail, secrets, intrigue, and, of course, murder.
Absolutely new favorite author, Richard Osman, has written an intriguing account of 4 "older citizens" who take on a mysterious murder case, befriending two local police officers along the way. All while enjoying the English countryside and a comfortable life at Coopers' Chase, a charming Senior Living Home.
Run, don't walk to get your hands on this delightful whodunnit, filled with twists and turns, and more than a few secrets revealed along the way!
A fun, light and delightful story with an enigmatic cast. Looking forward to these palate cleansers between my more serious reads.
I loved the idea of these seniors having connections and this club to look forward to. Their personalities and individual stories shine as they become integral parts of a local case.

What’s it about?
Four friends meet each week in their picturesque retirement village to work on old unsolved murder cases. When a local man is found dead they are all of a sudden in the middle of their first live case. But who will find the murderer first- the police or the Thursday Murder Club?

This story is just like those cozy slippers you put on in the fall- comfortable and so pleasant to spend time in. I am definitely adding this to my Gift Ideas section. It would make a great gift for mom at the holidays. I would assume this will please any fan of Louise Penny and most mystery lovers. Just make yourself a cup of hot tea and enjoy this one.

“Elizabeth had formed the Thursday Murder Club with Penny. Penny had been an inspector in the Kent Police for many years, and she would bring along the files of unsolved murder cases. She wasn’t really supposed to have the files, but who was to know? After a certain age, you can pretty much do whatever takes your fancy. No one tells you off, except for your doctor and your children.”
