WhoDunnits: A Mystery Book Group – “The Thursday Murder Club” by Richard Osman (JCCL)

This month, WhoDunnits will be reading The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman.

Four residents of Coopers Chase, a retirement village in Kent, England, compete with the police to solve a murder in this debut novel by British TV celebrity Richard Osman. The Thursday Murder Club began with a group of septuagenarians working on cold murder cases, but they are handed new mysteries when the shady developer of the retirement village is found dead, and an extra body is found in the graveyard ordered destroyed by the developer. Fans of Christopher Fowler’s Bryant and May and Lynn Truss’ Constable Twitten mysteries will enjoy this.

“The character-driven mystery, featuring a group of sleuths all too aware of their own mortality, and a likable pair of cops, is suspenseful, funny, and poignant.” – LJ Reviews

WhoDunnits is a discussion group devoted to mysteries of all kinds and meets the first Tuesday of every month.
