the thursday murder club started off quite slow. so slow, in fact, i nearly gave up on it. the constant twists and turns and vast array of characters nearly proved too much for me, but i am glad i kept slogging on. the cozy, charming atmosphere of coopers chase retirement home and our four witty, charming thursday murder club attendees was just the type of engaging story i was looking for to work through a bit of a reading slump.
as the four work together on a cold case, new murders begin to appear. there are many a false start and red herring, but the truth (or, rather, parts of the truth) gets worked out by the end of the story. overall, a fun read of retired folks having a spot of fun playing detective (while working with proper detectives) in their own community. looking back, the reveal at the end should have seemed quite obvious, but i had a fun time sleuthing alongside these characters and will definitely pick up the rest of this series.
