A review by cinnamonmarti
The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman
lighthearted
medium-paced
- Strong character development? No
2.5
This book is so quintessentially British that it makes me want to use words like 'quaint', 'blimey' or 'kerfuffle' at any given opportunity. Unfortunately that's not nearly enough to make it endearing and I'm sorry to say that this story didn't really catch my interest. At no point was I invested in the mystery or the big reveals and I found all the characters very forgettable.
I suspect cosy mysteries aren't for me, or at least not the ones that make suspending my disbelief so blatantly hard.
I'll say this is a proper beach read, witty and funny, but even that can get repetitive very soon. Also, what's up with the super short chapters? For some reason they really annoyed me.
I won't be continuing this series.
