The Thursday Murder Club

In a peaceful retirement village, four unlikely friends meet weekly in the Jigsaw Room to discuss unsolved crimes; together, they call themselves the Thursday Murder Club.

As the bodies begin to pile up, can our unorthodox but brilliant gang catch the killer, before it's too late?

Ce que les critiques en disent

“An amusing debut that finds gold in getting older.”—People

“If you like a good mystery but also want to laugh and go 'aw,' the Thursday Murder Club books by Richard Osman are definitely for you.”—Daisy Rosario, NPR Pop Culture Happy Hour

“[A] jaunty mystery. . . What's delightful is that there are no stereotypes here—the senior citizens solve the murder with wit, style and ferocious intelligence. The puzzle is intricate and involving, but there's a breeziness about it that makes it an ideal hammock read.”–NPR

The characters are vivid and delightful, the writing is funny and smart, and the reading by Lesley Manville is terrific. It’s a book full of love and kindness (and murder). A much appreciated escape from the real world right now.

Loved it.

I enjoyed this mystery for the characters, who were such fun people with real personalities, lots of variety and depth. The plot was a bit scattered, with a few too many backstories trying to play on the reader's emotions. However, the whole thing hung together well, moved at a nice pace, and wrapped up in a tidy way.

Great characters in a well-paced story

It starts of gently meandering in a quirky fun way and then all of a sudden you realize it’s past midnight but you just have to know what happens next! The performance is fantastic and I’m so glad to see there is more in the series.

I couldn’t put it down

Loved the characters, the comedy,the setting, the plot with clever twists and turns, and the witty writing.

fabulous story and narration!

An absolutely brilliant first novel, but honestly, no one else could have done the job that Lesley Manville does in narrating it. She makes each and every character come alive with their very own voice and mannerisms.
Highly recommended--can’t wait for the sequel, The Man Who Died Twice. Kudos, Richard Osman!

One of the Best

Oh gosh I want to meet them all. The weaving of loveable characters and stories are brilliant. The author notes at the end most enjoyable. Definitely will go to second one. The fun continues.

How much fun was this. Thoroughly enjoyable listen.

Found it hard to get into at first - wasn’t a style I was used to but once I got a sense of the storytelling I loved it - multiple layers of storytelling that keeps you guessing - enjoyed the author interview at the end

realistic without being gory
