Welcome to #ThrowBackThursday where I highlight an older review or post a current review of a backlist title. Today, I’m resharing a cozy mystery, The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman. This is the first in a series.
I’m linking up with Davida @ The Chocolate Lady’s Book Review Blog for #ThrowbackThursday.
The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman
Genre/Categories/Setting: Contemporary Fiction, Crime Fiction, Cozy Mystery, Retirement Home

My Summary:
In an upscale, peaceful retirement village, solving cold cases is favored over jigsaw puzzles…..at least for our four lively, interesting, energetic, and brilliant protagonists who meet every Thursday. Elizabeth (leader, organizer, and previous spy?), Joyce (retired nurse), Ibrahim (retired psychiatrist), and Ron (a retired union boss) call themselves The Thursday Murder Club and enjoy pouring over files and discussing unsolved crimes. One day, there is a real murder nearby which leads to another murder even closer to home. The club lends its expertise, opinions, and energy to two professional detectives, Donna and Chris. These six form an investigative team of sorts. Guess which group is the most innovative?
…Quirky Characters meets Cozy Mystery meets Retirement meets Waiting For God…

I absolutely LOVE this cozy mystery series. I’ve already bought “The Bullet That Missed”, the third book in this series. Can’t wait to read it!
The series has become popular! Enjoy!
Great review Carol. I love this series and have the third book ordered from my bookstore. It hasn’t yet been released in New Zealand. ❤📚
I hope you enjoy it Sandy! I always see good reviews of this series!
As I mentioned on your post, I’m not much into crime stories but Richard Osman could rewrite the phone book and I’d read it, he is just such a brilliant guy.
Needless to mention now, I guess, that I read his book (read my review here) and that I have his next one on my TBR pile and will read it ASAP.
I hope you enjoy it! 🙌 so fun to find a great author!
