4.75

The main characters of the Thursday Murder Club are charming, though sometimes the aside thoughts are distracting and the characters seem to conveniently know too much. The mystery itself was very well done and I did not see that ending coming! 

It was an easy paced enjoyable mystery.

I was expecting a light and funny read. Unfortunately, it didn't deliver in either department. It contained some dark scenes and had too many unnecessary minor characters and subplots which made it difficult to follow. The major characters were loveable and unique. I wish there had been more character development so I could learn more about them, instead of being pulled on side quests that didn't really add to the book.
