As the narrative unfolded, characters underwent a deep excavation, revealing intricate layers that highlighted the author's mastery in delving into the psychology of each persona. In a plot filled with a plethora of characters, far from overwhelming, it proved to be a triumph, beckoning readers to explore the tapestry of rich and multifaceted personalities.
The climax in the confession room was a tension-soaked spectacle, immersing me in a suspenseful atmosphere, making me an integral part of the unfolding drama. Sharp plot twists played havoc with my assumptions about the primary suspect, displaying a level of cleverness that left me in awe.
The initial battle against 'microscopic' font size unexpectedly transformed into a stroke of luck when I stumbled upon the e-book format—a treasure trove where I could whimsically tailor the font size to match my reading pleasure.
Immersed in the intricacies of these characters' lives and skillfully navigating the hairpin turns of the mystery, I transcended beyond the conventional role of a reader; I morphed into a fellow adventurer alongside The Thursday Murder Club gang.
As I closed the chapter on this thrilling escapade, a satisfied grin and a spark of enthusiasm adorned my face. The Thursday Murder Club is more than just a book; it's a golden ticket inviting you to explore a world of mystery with the coolest gang in town. The knowledge that the saga with The Thursday Murder Club will persist in a riveting series is the cherry on top. It's not just a book; it's a reliable companion, beckoning from every mysterious corridor, urging you to uncover the secrets within.

Also, I know it's a murder mystery but I wasn't expecting so much casual death. Was a bit grim at times.

I also like how it alludes to things they have done before coming to CC and I‘m really excited to learn more about Elizabeth‘s past at some point, even though I have a hunch about her vocation. I like how the author often sets us on wrong tracks until we suddenly understand what exactly is happening or who is involved; it often made me notice that I am still, unfortunately, thinking in a very socially normative (not to say heteronormative, able-bodied, ageist kind of way, because I pride myself on AT THE VERY LEAST noticing if I do and correcting myself; so rather in a pop culturally normalised) way, MILD UNSPOILERY
Oh and also, Joyce and Donna teaching Elizabeth how to be modern and and correct and inclusive in her way of speaking? Love.
