Synopsis: The Thursday Murder Club is investigating a 10-year-old unsolved murder of a local newswoman. Meanwhile, Elizabeth is receiving threatening texts from an unknown number. 

Review: It’s hard to review books in a series wanting to avoid sharing any spoilers of previous books. Having said that, this is the 3rd book in this series & I think this is my favorite so far. 

In my opinion, the author has written well-developed & lovable characters when I think about the characters & become deeply sad that they are not real people somewhere doing all the things I just read about. Osman does this magnificently.

I enjoyed this book but mainly because of its characters and the writing style. The plot wasn’t as good as the other two books in my opinion. 

I thought the plot was too complex and messy with many of the findings and unraveling of the mystery depending on coincidence and the unbelievable willingness of others to talk for absolutely no reason at all.

The whole prison thing was kinda ridiculous, I cannot imagine this level of corruption in UK prisons, though obviously I am not an expert on that.

Will still read the last one though, because I love my little gang of pensioners.

This one didn’t grab me right away like the first two Thursday Murder Club books did, but after a bit I was hooked again. I love this series for the funny and real main characters who always look out for each other. The messes they get their group into might work out a bit too neatly sometimes (as often happens in whodunnits!), but I want it to work out for these characters, and if life isn’t perfect, at least life in fiction can try to be. When can I move into
Coopers Chase??

Once again a Thursday Murder Club has me cackling and crying constantly throughout. 


Also not long after reading this I actually ate at a Wimpy and all I could think about was Joyce.
