The Reading Seamstress reviewed The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman (Thursday Murder Club, #1)

Enjoyable.

4 stars

I didn't share some of the humour in it, but very much enjoyed reading this book. Some twists and turns, dark secrets, and a murder mystery solved by septua- and octogenarians? Count me in. I want to know how the Thursday Murder Club tackles their next case, so I'll surely pick up the second book in the series.
