PRE-ORDER NOW: THE FIRST BOOK IN THE GRIPPING THURSDAY MURDER CLUB SERIES BY TV PRESENTER RICHARD OSMAN
In a peaceful retirement village, four unlikely friends meet up once a week to investigate unsolved killings. But when a local property developer shows up dead, ‘The Thursday Murder Club’ find themselves in the middle of their first live case.
The four friends, Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron, might be octogenarians, but they still have a few tricks up their sleeves.
Can our unorthodox but brilliant gang catch the killer, before it’s too late?

A great premise… a group of 4 pensioners in a retirement home set out to solve a murder that has happened on their doorstep in their retirement village. Great cast of characters, plenty of twists and turns. Reminded me a lot of old episodes of midsummer murders… and that’s no bad thing!
At times I got confused by the sheer number of characters and suspects, but I liked the two police detectives Donna and Chris, reliant on the eighty-somethings to help them solve their crimes
I see book 2 already on the horizon!!

What an absolute joy to read from start to finish.
I was lucky enough to get a preview chapter of this from Penguin books back in the spring and have been waiting to read the rest of it ever since. The story, starring a group of friends who have met in a retirement village and who spend Thursday lunchtimes trying to solve unsolved mysteries, moves at such a fantastic pace, lots of twists and turns but marvellously entertaining. Hopefully the first in a series of books, I’m ready for the next one

Really enjoyed this! A crime novel with a difference. Not overly grisly, in fact I found it warm, charming and very funny in places. Imagine a less stuffy Miss Marple with a brigade of friends!
