At a peaceful retirement village in the English countryside, four unlikely friends — ex-spy Elizabeth, sweet-but-shrewd Joyce, methodical psychiatrist Ibrahim, and bull-in-a-china-shop union man Ron — meet every Thursday to pick at unsolved police files for fun. When a local developer turns up dead, their hobby becomes the real thing.
With sharp wits, decades of life experience, and absolutely no respect for “proper procedure,” the club hunts for the truth through construction feuds, old grudges, and delightfully tangled alibis. What begins as a cozy diversion turns into a genuine whodunit that proves age is an asset — and mischief? That’s a superpower.
Think golden-age puzzle meets warm, wickedly funny character comedy. The charm sneaks up on you; the clues click into place; the reveal lands with a grin and a gasp.
For readers who want a clever, heartwarming mystery with real stakes and real laughs, The Thursday Murder Club delivers in spades.
