The Thursday Murder Club (Thursday Murder Club, #1)
by
by
This book turned out to be a perfect weekend read for me. A multi-layered mystery which despite several murders, including cold cases, refrains from being graphic.
Senior citizens, who live together on an estate built for rather well-off retirees try to keep their 'grey cells' working, set up a Murder Club which meets every Thursday. The Club focuses of old cases mainly but when a murder is committed just round the corner, they cannot refuse the challenge.
There are many dynamic characters, each with their secrets, habits and weaknesses. There is a sense of humor, a good subdued humour, and I found myself chuckling occasionally.
*Many thanks to Richard Osman, Penguin Books UK, and NetGalley for arc in exchange for my honest review.*

Sounds like a unique story, and the subdued humor would have made this enjoyable. Glad you had a perfect read for your weekend, Beata.

A weekend winner is always a treat. My gray cells could use some sprucing up too!
LOL One of the ladies writes a question two weeks ahead, and then tries to remember the answer, this is what I call sprucing up, Judith! I think I'll do the same 🤭
Nice review Beata. Sounds like a fun read.
Oooh, Beata, I’m so happy to read your endorsement of this! I added it to my TBR a few days ago. You’ve confirmed my suspicion that it would be right up my alley. :-)

Excellent review Beata. Richard Osman is a multi talented man and really humble with it. He is a gentle giant as he is around 6 feet nine inches tall. He is often on TV and is a dual host of a popular quiz programme called 'Pointless' and other programmes too. Stay safe my friend.
I love the sounds of this one!Fab review Beata.

I like 'a gentle giant' phrase :)) Stay safe, Leila, & lots of hugs! :))
