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.

Three people I know recommended this book to me. If they'd led with how funny it is, I might've read it sooner. On the other hand, if they'd led with how corpse-strewn and emotional it is, I might've read it sooner, too. (Basically, what I'm saying is, if you're going to recommend a book to me, please tell me why you think I'd like it. No matter how much I like you, just telling me, "I liked it" won't convince me.) Anyway. This is a funny, emotional, corpse-strewn mystery, and I liked it a lot.
