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

Not Bad, but not Remarkable

Too many characters that are not fully developed.
Main mystery thread is not that intriguing. Sub-plots are too numerous.
I can suspend disbelief up to a certain point, but this novel asks me to do this too often.
I applaud the author creating characters that are older than normally found in mystery writing (Miss Marple, aside), but his characters are not realistically elderly.

I would think twice or thrice before reading this author again.

A treasure to listen to again and again

As the interviewer says after the final chapter, this is a treasure to be read again whenever you need an uplift. Could not ask for more!

One of my favorite book recommendations

I loved this book so much! Witty and so well written. The second book in the series is so good too…maybe even better. Can’t wait for the third book. All of the characters are developed so well and they feel like old friends at the end of the book.

Every moment is a drop of honey

Clever, witty, brilliant. Remarkable characters I will never forget. So much so, the actual mysteries are secondary. I just didn’t want it to end.

Author Marian Keyes believes it is a classic. Who am I to disagree?

just honestly

I could not finish this book. maybe just the performance or just the way written.
this book may be favorable over tea and krimpets but not in 2022. not sure when written. seemed like a book written by my grand mom...for her friends.
