I absolutely loved this book. Honestly, I think this series is better than THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB. Both series’ have the same concept of an elderly lady and her ‘gang’ solving murders for the police who are annoyed at them getting involved but end up being friendly with them.
There’s so many different suspects that each of them have to be ruled out some how. The whole process of how Judith and her friends do that is rather clever and entertaining. Some of it is purposely planned out but others are accidentally revealed.
I really liked the reveal at the end and how that part of the story was told. It didn’t seem very clear how someone could be murdered whilst locked inside a room that only they have the key for. However, the reveal of how that happened was very clever, I didn’t even have that idea in my mind!
Overall, a very enjoyable book and a great addition to the series. I’m looking forward to seeing what else Judith gets up to!
