Richard Osman
Staff Pick
Smart, funny, and sweet, this book centers on four senior citizens in a retirement home who keep themselves busy by solving murders. Using their age (and some legally questionable tactics) to their advantage in solving crimes, this endearing foursome create a unique murder mystery novel that is a fun and easy read. This book is less about suspenseful murder mystery and more about the characters, so if you're looking for an edge of your seat page turner, this isn't it. Intelligent and witty, this book is full of heart. By the end you have fallen in love with the characters and wish you could keep reading about their lives - don't worry, you can! This is now a series, with the second book, The Man Who Died Twice, already available, and a third book on its way later this year.
If you liked The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time by Mark Hadden or the Apple + TV series Only Murders in the Building, I highly suggest The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman.

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?
