Snooze Brunch Enjoyed this despite the many characters introduced later in the book. It feels like it lays the groundwork for future novels in the series. Loved the British conversations and adventures of the characters.

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.
