Book: The Thursday Murder Club
Author: Richard Osman
Fiction/Nonfiction: Fiction
Have I Read This Author Before: No
One Sentence Summary: A Group of older individuals living together in a nursing home type facility in the UK become involved in a murder investigation when someone they know is murdered and they soon are doing a better job solving it than the local police
Did It Make Me Want to Keep Reading: Yes
Best Thing About the Book: Very funny but also a good mystery with lots of suspects and components; a very fast read
Worst Thing About the Book: The number of characters and story lines (both past and present) sometimes made it difficult to remember all of the components
What I Learned: Many British terms as I was often googling when I came across something I didn’t know: Spanner (wrench), wpc (Woman Police Constable), Stone (about 14 pounds) to name a few
The Bottom Line: After being enmeshed in intense thrillers for the last several months, this offered some of that mystery with less gore and more laughs
