The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman
adventurous
mysterious
fast-paced
4.0
A group of care home residents get together every Thursday to discuss unsolved mysteries from the past. An innocent enough event within the safety of their abode, Coopers Chase Retirement Village. How will the four friends react when murders begin to crop up a little too close to home? When the police think they have a handle on these mysteries, the Thursday Murder Club are always one step ahead.
Richard Osman's first novel is absolutely sensational. There are many elements that pulled me in but none top the endearing, quintessentially British humour that all four main characters seem to possess. The fact that they are all around 80+ years old left me in stiches for so much of this book. This may have been the fastest read I have completed in a long time, in only 6 days I consumed this absolute delight.
A great read for anyone who enjoys a cheeky 'Who done it?' murder mystery that is spliced with a million hilarious tangents spliced with terrifically blunt and blasé humour.
