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.

I feel like Richard Osman is hitting his stride with this books. He weaves multiple storylines while keeping the characters just as rich, funny and loveable as ever. I love reading this series and I can't wait for the next one to come out.

All the Thursday Murder Club books are great and this is no exception. I love our murder hunting elder crew. It was nice to get a few new characters too. I will definitely always plan to read these books. I can never guess how they will end and I love how the truth finally comes out in the end.

I adored this! I loved being back with what feels like familiar friends! 

 

It's a lighthearted, cosy mystery that's not meant to be taken seriously. It's such an easy read and I love getting lost in their world. 

 

I did guess the 'bad guy' and the twist in the end is kinda obvious - but I loved the story. 

 

Really looking forward to the next instalment.
