bobinsbooknook 's review for:

The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman
3.5
lighthearted mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

A lighter take on the classic murder mystery with the set of loveable and intriguing characters. 

I was worried without a tense horror/thriller vibe that the murder mystery may fall flat but on the contrary it was quite clever and couldn’t predict the ending which I did really enjoy - no shock then why I finished it in one day.

That being said, there are a lot of characters and sub-plots to keep track of which did make it feel a bit drawn out and tricky to follow at times. 

I curious to check out the other books in the series but do think I’m a reader who prefers more tension and darkened in a book about murder which limits the re-readability for me reflected in my rating.
