This was a cozy and enjoyable mystery. The characters were all lovable and overall, the story was just the right level of quirky for my taste. The narrative requires a bit of a suspension of disbelief (looking at you Elizabeth with the 1293847 connections). Still, I appreciated the lighter tone here in contrast to the usually bleaker crime book. 

The pacing was great and the mystery was compelling with just the right amount of red hearings.

I loved the premise of the book and cannot believe I haven’t come across it before (aside from Miss Marple). What I really love is that the elderly are portrayed as intelligent and valuable. At first I thought it was quaint that they formed a murder club within their elderly community, but then their backgrounds were shared and I knew we would see what they still have to offer. There are the cozy mystery deaths and also deaths with deeper meaning and more exploration. Human flaws and secrets are revealed, and while the present is murderous and haunting, so is the past.

It was a good read! If you want something that is fun and fast, this is a great books. There was a lot of characters and I would get confused a time. I did not expect the end at all. I’m looking forward to reading the sequel

 un grupo de ancianos se reunen todos los jueves a hablar sobre viejas investigaciones de asesinatos, tratando de descubrir quiénes son los culpables verdaderos, hasta que un día un asesinato es cometido muy cerca de ellos y deciden usar sus habilidades y tiempo libre para resolverlo. Para ser una novela debut, está muy bien escrita. Los protagonistas tienen personalidades bien definidas, el ritmo de la investigación es ágil y el misterio no es fácil de descubrir hasta último momento. Lo único que me molestó un poquito es que uno de los personajes tiene un enorme círculo de contactos que le deben favores y son expertos en distintas áreas muy útiles a la hora de resolver un crimen, se sentía muy conveniente para la trama, pero de nuevo, es una novela debut, así que mi vara no está tan alta y lo disfruté mucho más que otras novelas debut de crímenes.
