THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB In a peaceful retirement village, four unlikely friends meet weekly in the Jigsaw Room to discuss unsolved crimes; together they call themselves the Thursday Murder Club. When a local developer is found dead with a mysterious photograph left next to the body, the Thursday Murder Club suddenly find themselves in the middle of their first live case. As the bodies begin to pile up, can our unorthodox but brilliant gang catch the killer, before it's too late? “Witty, endearing and greatly entertaining.” —Wall Street Journal Review: Funny and wise Murder Club members investigate a murder - I didn’t expect this murder mystery to make me laugh, lift my mood, and keep me reading until the early hours, but it did. The subject of the novel is a murder club that solves a murder involving their retirement community. Cooper’s Chase is a British retirement village that hosts many clubs within their communal meeting rooms. The Thursday Murder Club is a group of pensioners who get together to discuss cold murder cases. Each of the club members has a distinct personality and specialty. There’s Elizabeth, who keeps what she used to do private but organizes with military precision. Penny, a co-founder of the Club, has just been moved to a nursing home, which has left an opening. Newcomer Joyce, filling the space, is a former nurse. She’s useful in determining which knife wounds would be fatal and how long it would take for a person to bleed out from such injuries. She can also make a mean lemon drizzle cake and is looking for male companionship. Ibrahim is a psychiatrist, and Ron, a former labor organizer. The Club investigates a murder that hits close to home when a local builder, Tony Curran, is found dead from a blunt force injury to the back of his head. Besides being a legitimate builder, Tony has been involved in running drug operations on the side. He was a rough character who had many unsavory connections. He was partners with Ian Ventham, the developer who built Cooper’s Chase. They were planning to expand the retirement community, which would involve removing an old convent graveyard and a peaceful gathering spot for quiet contemplation. The Cooper’s Chase community was adamantly opposed to the destruction of their private place. Tony’s murder has plenty of suspects from those opposed to his building to others in the drug world. Ian was also planning to cut Tony out of the development plans, making him a suspect too. Police Constable Donna De Freitas is called to work the investigation with Chief Inspector Chris Hudson. For De Freitas, a liaison officer working on a murder investigation is a huge step. Formerly holding meetings with Cooper’s Chase on safety topics, she is thought to have the community’s trust. Unknown to her, while extracting information about Tony’s murder from residents, the Murder Club is busily mining information from her. Chief Inspector Hudson has no idea that the Murder Club has launched their own parallel investigation. The murder mystery is a complicated one, giving the reader lots of false leads. What makes the book so much fun to read are the uncommonly wise and hysterically funny characters. My favorite scene is when De Freitas is sitting in the squad room as Hudson hands out assignments. She gets a text message from the Murder Club to tell her they are on their way to interview a suspect. The ending contains more than a few surprises. I hope Richard Osman continues to write about these people. Whether you’re a murder mystery fan or not, you’ll love the sharp dialogue and delightful personalities. Review: good read - A fun book! I enjoyed most of the characters. There is not be reveal tho so more of a slow reveal that’s a bit obvious and is more about the characters reactions. Would recommend. ## Images ![The Thursday Murder Club: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91W6z9y7KjL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Funny and wise Murder Club members investigate a murder *by K***Y on February 5, 2021* I didn’t expect this murder mystery to make me laugh, lift my mood, and keep me reading until the early hours, but it did.

I enjoyed most of the characters. There is not be reveal tho so more of a slow reveal that’s a bit obvious and is more about the characters reactions. Would recommend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a fun read!!! *by A***E on May 24, 2024* The dialog of the characters stuck me first as the most charming and entertaining I have as yet been able to find in any novel I have ever read. The writing itself is so good, and the characters are extremely well defined. I didn't want the story to end. It was just that good! I am a huge Agatha Christie fan, so my mysteries are usually of the cozy style. The Richard Osman style is similar but different at the same time. I absolutely LOVED his style of writing. So many times I laughed out loud while his four main characters and his two detectives spoke. I believe Mr Osman must have a really great sense of humor. I do, though, have one very little negative comment, but probably more my fault than Mr Islam fault. There were a few too many suspects than my brain could handle. Some of Agatha Christie's books began with a list of characters along with their parts in the story which is what I really would have liked to have for The Thursday Murder Club. But other than that, I thought this was a perfect read and have told many other murder mystery lovers about this book.
