“So we were all witnesses to a murder” says Elizabeth “Which, needless to say, is wonderful.”

(This book deserves two quotes!)

“We normally meet in the Jigsaw Room, you see,’ says Joyce. ‘But it’s not Thursday and the Jigsaw Room is being used by Chat and Crochet.’
‘Chat and Crochet is a fairly new group, Detective Chief Inspector,’ says Ibrahim. ‘Formed by members who had become disillusioned with Knit and Natter. Too much nattering and not enough knitting, apparently.”

This was recommended to me by a friend when I finished The Postscript Murders and it was the perfect pairing! The Thursday Murder Club is full of a quirky group of people in a senior living community. Their obsession? Murder. They spend their time poring over cold case files until a new murder comes knocking on their own doors.

This book was hilarious. It was a wonderful group of pitch perfect characters with a complex plot. I wasn’t even sure I was following along very well until the very end and the pieces finally came together. Plenty of red herrings, plenty of good suspects, and I would have never guessed the ending but it made perfect sense. I loved it and am definitely looking forward to the next one, which is due to be published in September.
