Another fun and funny crime investigation by this tight-knit group of four English retirees. They again draw on their life experience and diverse skills to uncover the mysteries of an old crime.

There's a bit of black humour, though nothing too dark. There's also nothing profound about the novel, but that's not the point of it anyway; it's just a bit of fun light reading.

All the Thursday Murder Club books are great and this is no exception. I love our murder hunting elder crew. It was nice to get a few new characters too. I will definitely always plan to read these books. I can never guess how they will end and I love how the truth finally comes out in the end.
