The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman

November 19, 2021

The Thursday Murder ClubThe Thursday Murder Club kept appearing on various “recommended for you” lists, but I initially resisted buying it as it sounded rather insipid, like those mystery novels where the amateur sleuth’s cat is a major character.

In Richard Osman’s novel, four residents of a posh British retirement community surreptitiously study cold cases; they call themselves the Thursday Murder Club. When a real murder takes place on the premises, the band of seniors is eager to tackle a live case, much to the annoyance of the local police.

In the tradition of Agatha Christie,  The Thursday Murder Club is a more crafty novel than the predictable premise suggests.  And the four amateur sleuths are distinct personalities rather than merely senior stereotypes.

An English cozy with bite.
