Four friends in a retirement village pass their days by investigating cold cases from decades past. This self-proclaimed "Thursday Murder Club" has a real (and current) adventure on their hands, though, when someone affiliated with their community is murdered. And then another. Determined to be helpful, the unorthodox gang sets out to investigate, and soon finds themselves uncovering a trail of secrets. Can no one be trusted? And can they find the killer?
It took me a bit to get into it, but this book is gold. Written by known funny television personality Richard Osman, I thought this would be a second-rate mystery focused on comedy. I was wrong! It is funny, but it is also a good and suspenseful mystery. And has a dash of wisdom and surprisingly poignant moments to boot. I especially enjoyed the varied quirks of the four protagonists. This was a good time.
