The Thursday Murder Club

"The success of The Thursday Murder Club is no surprise at all. What’s not to love? Four 70-somethings living in the same retirement village meet every Thursday in the Jigsaw Room to discuss unsolved crimes—until a local developer turns up dead and the Thursday Murder Club confront their first “live” case. The entire scenario and cast is delicious. Lots of narratives are witty and worth a sardonic smile here and there, but The Thursday Murder Club is funny, compassionate, and completely entertaining—an utter treat to read. I mean, how often do you normally giggle or grin while reading about a murder case? Osman has taken a grim genre and made it not only entertaining, but uplifting."
