The Thursday Murder club is a cozy mystery book following a group of septuagenarians in a nursing home who have formed a book club and subsequently find themselves in the middle of an actual murder case.
The first half of the book was a little too slow for me and because of some references and meanderings of how the characters talk/narrate it took me some time to get used to the writing. Halfway through the book though I found myself enjoying and trying to guess who the murderer was.
