This book is tricky. In a good way. Loved the way the author led us through the crime, adding clues and putting pieces together. Looking forward to the other books so far in this series. #62-2024

I really loved this one.

Four octogenarians (or thereabouts) kill time and stay sharp through amateur* sleuthing. The result is solved crimes, unlikely friendships, and boundless charm.

(The amateur descriptor is perhaps misleading…even if it is by hobby rather than trade, they are certainly effective detectives!)

This was absolutely delightful. Honestly Cooper's Chase is retirement goals. I can only hope I end up with a group of similar friends at that age. I liked that there was a nice mix of both humor and seriousness

I enjoyed this but the plot/mystery was kinda complicated and there were so many characters to keep track of. The 4 members of The Thursday Murder Club were wonderful characters though! Giving it a soft pick.

Why oh why is the use of commas in this book so bad?

julesG Comma before "which" when it's a 'nonrestrictive clause' (a clause with extra information). It seems correct to me. 4mo
rwmg I think it's a restrictive clause. It tells us what sort of headline it was: “He had read a headline which was so worrying he had chosen not to read the article“. 4mo
MommyWantsToReadHerBook @julesG @rwmg to me it reads like the fsct that he read the headline once was so worrying. If British English didn't use which when "that" is more appropriate, the sentence would read He had read a headline once that was so worrying.... 4mo

I am not with the majority here, I know, but I‘m not here to say this is a bad book. It‘s just not a book for me. I did not know it was a cozy mystery until I started reading it and just couldn‘t get into it hence why I had to bail. Cozy mystery lovers will definitely enjoy this!

TheKidUpstairs @CBee Tennant was announced last month, but somehow I missed it! And with Stephen it's strange, I never had a super clear picture of him in my head when reading (unlike Elizabeth who was always Helen Mirren) but as soon as I saw Pryce was cast I thought "yes! That's him!" Seriously, the casting director deserves an award for how perfectly they've cast this movie! 5mo
CBee @TheKidUpstairs also! Richard E. Grant is in it! He‘s fantastic too. I‘m so intrigued to find out who Tennant will play. 5mo
CBee @TheKidUpstairs and yes, agreed Pryce is perfect for Stephen (sweet Stephen). 5mo

How delightful! Almost more of a character study than a mystery story, and lovely at that. The group of puzzle solvers is funny and bright and very enjoyable to spend time with, and the peripheral characters are just as well drawn and entertaining. The solution to it all ended up being sort of sweetly sad (there‘s a word for this I can‘t remember), and partly predictable partly not, which was fun. I‘ll definitely read more in the series.

This story would make the cheesiest tv show, but as a book it is the perfect little fun murder mystery. A set of pensioners with the right skills are the perfect team to solve cold cases…and even better to solve a murder that happens right in front of them. Such a fun read that I‘ve already got book #2 on hold.

I really enjoyed this story and loved the characters. I told my daughter, “When your Dad and I can't live independently anymore, can you find me a luxury senior's home where the residents solve mysteries and drink lots of wine?“

kwmg40 I'm using this for prompt 25 (An author “everyone“ has read except you) of #52bookclub because almost everyone I know has recommended this book to me.

One recommendation was from my daughter's friend. I asked, “Why would young people be interested in a series featuring senior citizens?“ His reply; “I like to think that, when I'm that old, my life would be just as interesting as those of the characters,“ which I thought was lovely!

Thursday Murder Club casting news!

https://deadline.com/2024/04/helen-mirren-pierce-brosnan-ben-kingsley-thursday-m...

Thoughts? IMO Mirren and Kingsley are great choices, but Brosnan is not AT ALL how I picture Ron.

TrishB lol! Had this discussion today - everyone thought that about Ron! 8mo
TheKidUpstairs @TrishB it seems like such an odd choice! When I saw him, I thought he was maybe playing Stephen, no way can I picture him as Ron. I've still got my fingers crossed for Penelope Wilton as Joyce! 8mo
Ruthiella Helen Mirren is how I pictured Elizabeth already! But yeah, I pictured Ron as more of a bruiser. Remington Steele is too pretty. 8mo
See All 7 Comments
TheKidUpstairs @Ruthiella He's way too pretty. Wasn't Ron a former boxer? Brosnan doesn't look like he's taken enough punches 😂 8mo
Ruthiella @TheKidUpstairs His son is a boxer. Ron was a labor organizer. I don‘t remember his profession, but it was something working class. (edited) 8mo
staci.reads Oh my gosh, Helen Mirren will be a fabulous Elizabeth! I'm surprised by Brosnan, but I can see it. Can't wait to see who will be Joyce. 8mo
Bookzombie I‘m not sure about Brosnan either. I think I always picture him a little bit stouter, maybe a like a Brian Cox or Brendan Gleeson. Definitely was already picturing Mirren as Elizabeth, but I can‘t wait to see who will play Joyce. 7mo

Happy Sunday! Storm Kathleen is still battering at my door here in N Ireland, but I'm snuggled up with books and coffee ☕☕☕ I just finished The Thursday Murder Club and it was fantastic!!! I picked it out of the book box in the village where I live ages ago and put off reading it as I thought it would be too 'cosy' crime for- but I loved it! It was so funny and sad and bittersweet and it has me guessing until the end! Loved it!💗

This charming murder mystery takes place in a British retirement village, where four senior citizens gather each week to study a cold case. When a murder hits close to home, they set out to find the culprit, enlisting the aid of a young police officer and employing unorthodox methods to get to the truth. Great characters and a poignant humanity make this entertaining mystery a true delight. I will be on the lookout for more books in this series!

Multiple Miss Marples with updated twists- nothing too heavy and having some excellent “social justice throw away lines” without being preoccupied by this- keeping pace and murder at the forefront like any good mystery should.

Unpopular opinion:
For me, this one is between a so-so and a pan. Giving it a so-so because there was the hint of a decent story, but Osman drags everything out far too much? Are editors scared to tell celebrity authors that their books are too long? I was close to bailing several times on this one because of its verbosity.

We do not deserve this man (Richard Osman) 🥹🥰 Joyce is my favorite character in these books (so much so that I get annoyed with her daughter and would like to give her a piece of mind, but that‘s another discussion 😆). Joyce‘s growth in the series is definitely noticeable. Can‘t wait for her next adventure with the gang.

Agatha Christie meets Carl Hiaasen in this fun little mystery which manages to be extremely British and extremely cozy while also populated by a zany cast, including crooked developers, mysterious priests, ex-prize fighters, and drug dealers gone straight (unless…?) I avoided this for a long time, but the mystery felt well plotted and the interactions among the various characters tapped into honest emotion that exceeded my expectations. Very fun.

I wasn‘t sure about this book when I first started it, and set it aside for some time. When I resumed it I was clearly in the right space and time and ended up really loving this unlikely band of friends. I think what I most liked is that it sees seniors as having full and imperfect lives, still having the same hopes and dreams as those much younger. I will definitely be reading the follow up as I want to rejoin these characters.

It‘s not my usual read but it was our book club pick and I liked it a lot! Yes, it takes some time to get into it and everything seems ridiculous but somehow it all works out well! Once I read over half the book, it was smooth sailing from there on.

It‘s about Coopers Chase residents in their 80s solving murders in their club. There are more twists than you would expect and I think the relationships are even more interesting than the murders.

This book is so cosy. I‘ve always been a fan of the old cosy mystery novels (think Miss Marple, Poirot, Inspector Montalbano, Sherlock Holmes) and it‘s high time to bring new authors into this micro-genre. Osman does a fabulous job of introducing all the characters, it‘s really easy to keep up with them all and the plot moves along a steady pace. It‘s not highly realistic or gritty, or graphic…and that‘s what I love about it.

I am so glad that this is the first in a series, as I really want to know what the characters in this novel are up to next. I have fallen in love with all of them, but they are not grandparently types, in the least. There is intelligence, snark, manipulation, stubbornness, blackmail, secrets, intrigue, and, of course, murder. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a fun, strangely comforting crime novel. Great characters! Definitely want to read the next one. I also enjoyed the author interview at the end of the novel. The interviewer (author Marian Keyes) was a little overly effusive with her praise, but the interview reminded me how little I know about class differences in the UK, which suggests that while I enjoy British fiction, as a United Statesian I am likely missing a lot of nuance.
