The increased number of characters means there is a lot to juggle and it may include one element too many, although it remains highly entertaining throughout.Īfter their eventful last case, the Thursday Murder Club at Cooper’s Chase retirement village are looking for their next unsolved mystery to tackle, they stumble across the 2013 death of television presenter and investigative journalist Bethany Waites.
Many of the storylines from the previous two books are developed further here and lead to a few surprises, most of which are fun such as an unexpected but perfect romance, with one rather heart-rending exception on the topic of dementia. Told with the same gentle humour that brings a smile to your face, as well as the occasional moment of solemnity, its general frivolity and laid-back tone disguises what is actually a complex story in which a lot of thought clearly went into its execution. This is simply a welcome continuation of the quaint yet uplifting and reassuringly cosy mysteries this series and its wonderful characters provide. But can they catch the culprit and save Elizabeth before the murderer strikes again? While Elizabeth grapples with her conscience (and a gun), the gang and their unlikely new friends (including TV stars, money launderers and ex-KGB colonels) unravel a new mystery. To make matters worse, a new nemesis pays Elizabeth a visit, presenting her with a deadly mission: kill or be killed… A local news legend is on the hunt for a sensational headline, and soon the gang are hot on the trail of two murders, ten years apart. It is an ordinary Thursday, and things should finally be returning to normal.Įxcept trouble is never far away where the Thursday Murder Club are concerned. Trigger warnings: Suicide, drugs references
