Love to have my first book of the year be one where I'm spending more time with the residents of Cooper's Chase.

Even though the score doesn't look great, I did really enjoy this book. I love the characters and never wanna not read about them! I felt for Donna in this book, it was very well written her arc. If she was real I would love to be her friend. And Bogdan I love, even though not always in the limelight he makes an impression and I love reading what's occurring with him. I think the characters are what makes this story, they jump off the page, I forget they aren't real.

Why I marked it lower though is I found the plot a little less captivating than the first book. Although I enjoyed it, I felt the ending felt, in a sense, rushed. The climax was short, and the drama was lost very quickly. 

I still would recommend and I plan to continue reading what the gang gets up to next!

Such a fun book! I love The Thursday Murder Club. The characters are so fun and it's always a fun challenge to figure out who did it.

I love Joyce, Ron, Ibrahim, and Elizabeth - their friendship is awesome. Tbh I never figure out the perpetrator in any book, but I definitely didn’t guess it in this one. I’m excited to read the third book and discover more about the characters’ lives. I think what makes this series so special is how the people are described. Gotta love the club lol.

Great fun still, although maybe not quite as captivating as the first book in the series. Still very much looking forward to seeing what the gang gets up to next.
