Ah, another delightful installment of my favorite gang of octogenarian crime solvers! I honestly can’t get enough of these books and the whole squad - they’re witty but serious, snarky but soft, and continue to just be full of heart. I never really want these books to end.
Book 2 & this one have been my favorite thus far - it feels as if Osman is really hitting his stride with these characters and each book reveals new fun slivers of their personalities and lives. There are some really tough issues woven throughout these books yet they never leave me feeling sad or anxious. Definite cozy crime vibes.
I loved seeing Elizabeth really “in her element” more than ever in this one. Ibrahim is also becoming a fast favorite of mine!
Cannot recommend these more if you want some mystery with good plot twists but nothing scary enough to keep you awake in the dark!

This one didn’t grab me right away like the first two Thursday Murder Club books did, but after a bit I was hooked again. I love this series for the funny and real main characters who always look out for each other. The messes they get their group into might work out a bit too neatly sometimes (as often happens in whodunnits!), but I want it to work out for these characters, and if life isn’t perfect, at least life in fiction can try to be. When can I move into
Coopers Chase??

Once again a Thursday Murder Club has me cackling and crying constantly throughout.

Also not long after reading this I actually ate at a Wimpy and all I could think about was Joyce.
