As the story progresses, we get a good rounded picture of each of the main characters, and you can’t help but feel for them. From the newest member of the murder club, ex nurse, Joyce to the lovable Elizabeth, each chapter provides us with further insights into their traits, desires, and possible motives. It is a tale of friendship, of growing old, of the consequences of being curious, but also of secrets as there are plenty of them in this book.Īs you may well know by now, if you have read a few of my reviews, I love a good multi narrative story, and this one is no exception. This is a very character driven story and I loved each and every one of the characters, with the exception of the complex owner, Ian who you are basically made to loathe. Not because of a certain sharing of names but because I feel she is the most complex character and you can tell she is hiding secrets beneath her calm, sensible exterior. The group of pensions each have their own personalities and traits from the sensible Elizabeth to the eccentric Ron, each character stands out for their own reasons. I didn’t know much going into this except that it is a cosy murder mystery, but it will also make you laugh so much. However, when an actual murder happens in their small town, they can’t help but carry out their own investigation, which is where things start getting a bit sticky.
Basically, they each become a version of Sherlock Holmes. When a newcomer appears by the name of Joyce, who is an ex-nurse the group decide to invite her to the Thursday murder club to discuss previous cold cases and try and spot potential leads or clues that the police didn’t pick up on.
The Thursday Murder Club is about a group on pensioners living in a retirement complex.
This time we are dabbling in a bit of murder mystery with The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman.įor my secret Santa present at work I received the third book in the series, The bullet that missed, but problem is, I hadn’t read the previous two, and being the sort of person I am, I had to go back to the beginning so I picked this up one day in town. The next review of the year, is something a bit different from my other reads so far of 2023.
