This is a reread for me. I have read the entire series and hope that there will be more to come as promised. I read this again as a refresher because I was joining my mother‘s book club for this read. Plus, my mother and I planned on watching the movie together, which we did. I loved the casting and the movie was good, but warning to readers, they changed quite a bit of it. So there was some disappointing parts, especially for some characters.

mcctrish I‘m glad I read the book awhile ago, when my read is too fresh I find the differences glare at me so much I don‘t enjoy myself 2w

Okay. I watched The Thursday Murder Club on Netflix. I “may” have squealed a little when David Tennant first came on screen.
I scared the napping dog next to me. (So judge-y)
The movie was pure delight. The cast was magic. I even loved Joyce (who I disliked in the book). I only disagreed with one of the changes they made from the book; and not enough to really care. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

MaleficentBookDragon @DGRachel yes. I was annoyed about that. I didn‘t see why that had to be in there. They did take out a lot of sub plots so I got why they had to give him a different motive for killing Tony, but I don‘t see why they had to do the whole arrest thing. At least they didn‘t have him actually poison Stephen. I would have been out then. 1mo

I really enjoyed this #bookspin pick.
The mysteries were engaging and even when I thought I had everything figured out, I didn‘t, but it all still made sense. The characters were engaging. And it was funny.
The only reason this is not a 5 ⭐️ was because of Joyce. To me she is the weakest character and her chapters were a slog to get through. And unfortunately her chapters were the longest (or at least they seemed that way to me).
#readingblanket

MaleficentBookDragon I really wanted Joyce to be one of the killers because I didn‘t want her in the next book. I thought she really couldn‘t be THAT annoying. She‘s more annoying than Poirot‘s Hastings. 😹 (edited) 2mo
Ruthiella I didn‘t like Joyce in the first book either. But she really develops in the following ones. 2mo

MaleficentBookDragon @Ruthiella that‘s good to know. I had to force myself to read her chapters. I wanted to skim them but was afraid I‘d end up missing something. She actually looks more fun in the movie trailer. 2mo

I like this author as a comedian and I liked the premise of this book: older adults in a retirement community who use their professional skills to solve murders. However, I had trouble keeping track of all the characters and the plot felt disjointed to me.

This was so much fun!
I loved this set of characters. Sweet little ol' people back to their old ways and honestly Joyce is quite adorable whereas Elizabeth is mysterious and a delight. I do like the ruff on Ron, he sounds like a cinnamon roll that could kill where as Ib, a bit mysterious as well but he didn't get a lot of screen time compared to the others but so far I do like this group.

I fondly recalled the Hipsters (they've all had hip replacements) from “Community“ reading this. Osman's gang is considerably more subtle & refined but equally willing to make use of stereotypes about being old & befuddled when it suits their purposes. And they're also heartbreakingly vulnerable to the issues of old age.

Didn't love the fat-shaming & copaganda, and was iffy on the moral ambiguity but the cast is so endearing I enjoyed it anyway.

In a peaceful and respectful retirement community a group of four friends meet weekly to discuss and try to solve murders. The characters are nearing 80, but that doesn‘t seem to slow them down. They look in each case with the knowledge that they‘re going to catch their “criminal.” They use connections they made earlier in life and diligently take the facts and hopefully catch the murderer before anyone else dies. 4/5⭐️

having listened 2 this & physically read We Solve Murders, I‘ve come 2 the conclusion I don‘t find Richard Osman funny. I enjoyed the characters enough in this 1 but there were so many, it was hard to follow listening to the audio. Maybe because I‘m not in the best headspace right now, I just wanted it to be done so I could listen to something else. I heard the other books in the series are better so will give those a listen at some point.

There were aspects I loved about this one, especially the characters. They‘ll definitely stay with me. But I felt like the plot was overly convoluted and dragged. I think the author tried to fit in too many different subplots. I‘d love to hear if it‘s worth continuing the series. I did love the final reveal and felt it was worth it in the end. I probably would have enjoyed this one more if my expectations hadn‘t been so high.

Ruthiella It is, in my opinion, worth continuing. I also didn‘t love the first one. But the characters become so appealing in the next three. 8mo

A slow start due to many character introductions, but it picks up midway. This quirky group of retirees solves cold cases—until a fresh murder complicates things. Charming, funny, and cozy with shifting perspectives and journal entries. The mystery is scattered but enjoyable. Stick with it—it‘s worth it! I‘ll grab the next from the library. ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (3.5)/5 ❤️📚 This was my bookspin for January.

This book was a load of fun, with entertaining characters and loads of wry humor that I quite enjoyed. My overall rating was somewhat lowered by the ending - it felt like the red herrings got a bit out of control - seriously, how many people have secrets centered around this one spot?? - and one other issue I had I'll put as a spoiler below. But overall this was a great time and I'll definitely pick up the sequel.

TheAromaofBooks Way too much suicide - it felt like lazy writing tbh. The first guy I was like okay, I guess, although it didn't really make sense because why was killing himself somehow a better option than just telling his daughter what had happened?! Then we also get suicide of the actual killer + bonus assisted suicide and it felt over-the-top. There was also this strange “well we're old so might as well be dead“ vibe and I wasn't a fan. 8mo

About 25% into this novel and struggling. Every time I pick it up, I fall asleep. It‘s more about me than the book, I think, but I‘m still having a hard time keeping the characters straight.

My reading partner had a seizure at 4:30am, hence why I‘m falling asleep today. It‘s been 6 months since her last one. 😔 My brother‘s beloved pup died on Tuesday after a seizure, so my girl‘s this morning was especially scary. Rough day around here.

dabbe So sorry to read this about your precious pup and your brother's. 😢 Our Pippa has epilepsy and takes 24 pills a day to keep her seizures under control. 😳 Still, she'll have a grand mal every few months, too. They are HORRIBLE! Thinking of you and your brother and sending 🩶🖤🩶. 8mo
Elizabeth2 @Texreader @KadaGul @Librarybelle Thank you! @dabbe They are so traumatic to witness. My heart is broken for my brother & his family. I‘m sorry for you and your Pippa. She def has a trigger & we thought we had it figured out…six mos without one and we thought we were in the clear. But this morning, there was no trigger. She was sleeping and we woke up to her seizing. I‘m scared to go to sleep tonight. 😢 8mo
DaveGreen7777 Hope your doggy is feeling better now! 😢 Sending healing energy her way! 8mo
dabbe @Elizabeth2 Have you had her checked for epilepsy? Pippa's neurologist (yep, she has one!) said a lot of seizures are brought on when the dog is sleeping or wakes up from a deep sleep. We've also noticed that Pip usually has one (or has twitches) after a major event--like people coming over or a huge dog walk in the heat (we live in Phoenix). I so feel for you! What's her name? Sending 🖤🐾🖤 to your brother & his family. 8mo
Elizabeth2 @dabbe hers were previously brought on by throwing up yellow bile from an empty stomach. We were having trouble getting her to eat when the seizures started a year ago. So, as long as we made sure she‘s got food in her - we now hand feed her 3 meals and a couple of snacks throughout the day, she‘s been good. But she didn‘t get sick last night; that seizure was unrelated to an empty stomach. She‘s on one med, but it might be time for a stronger one 8mo
Elizabeth2 @dabbe her name is Hazel. ❤️🐾 She‘s a former puppy mill mama. We‘ve had her for 5 years. According to what we were told, what the rescue was told, she was two when we adopted her. But our vet thinks she‘s likely older. She‘s had trauma in her life previously. She was debarked. 😢She‘s such a sweet little dog. The seizures started last January. We actually already have a vet appt scheduled for Sat for a check up - might need to change her med. 8mo
Elizabeth2 @DaveGreen7777 thank you! 8mo
rwmg I had never heard of debarking till I read your comment above. I hope I never do again. 8mo
Elizabeth2 @rwmg it‘s an awful, illegal procedure. It‘s just a guess by our vet because of how Hazel sounds. She sounds like a little old lady when she barks. She cannot whine like a normal dog. She makes a grunting noise instead. Amish puppy mills are horrible. The only positive is that this particular one offers their dogs for rescue instead of outright killing them when they are no longer useful. 8mo
dabbe Oh, the sweet girl! She is so lucky to have you as her caretakers. 🩶 If you ever need support or just to chat via email, let me know. 🤗 The beyond barbaric debarking makes me want to 🤬🤬🤬!!! #heartfelthazel 🖤🐾🖤 8mo
Elizabeth2 @dabbe thank you so much. She is such a quirky funny little dog. She‘s startled easily and will completely shut down at fireworks and the like. But she‘s also our “brave little toaster” because if a loud noise scares her she immediately goes to investigate, once she‘s done her little freak out circles. Seeing her learn to play with toys and be a pet has been super rewarding. Her favorite “toy” is our other pup - she loves to wrestle him. ❤️🐾 8mo
dabbe @Elizabeth2 My heart is full. 🩶🖤🩶 8mo
Elizabeth2 @dabbe hi! An update after our vet appt today - our vet says that one seizure in six months is a huge win, even if it doesn‘t feel like it to us. She says stay the course with current meds and what we are doing at home with her feeding. She was super pleased overall. Hazel does have a CCL injury (ACL in people). She‘s been limping - now we know why. Gotta keep her quiet for a couple weeks, give an anti inflammatory, & start a joint supp. 8mo
dabbe @Elizabeth2 That is EXCELLENT news! I do remember Pip's doctor saying a similar thing--that 1-2 seizures a year is a good thing (before the meds, she'd have one every 2 weeks or so). Way to go, Hazel! Heal up, good girl! 🤩🐾😘 8mo

It‘s so nice to have a core of characters comprised of older people. There‘s no alcoholic 30 year old police detective who conveniently forgets her cellphone when confronting a bad guy. Instead, our main characters reside in a retirement village. They‘ve got complex back stories, and they are all clever and honestly, just delightful. The mystery is great, the characters are wonderful, and I can‘t wait to dig into the next one.

Jas16 Love this series and think every book just keeps getting better. 9mo

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!)

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. 1y
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“. 1y
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.... 1y

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.
