5.0

In the latest novel in the Thursday Murder Club series,  the gang investigates the murder of one of Stephen's friends against the backstory of Stephen's unfortunate increasing dementia.  As always we learn more about each character and the new characters from the previous novels get more meat around the bones.  The whodunnits are all well-conceived and properly developed, but in this novel it is the emotion around Stephen, which is at the heart of the novel.  It is beautifully written and one cannot help but share in that emotion and maybe shed a tear. 4.5/5
